Ingredients

1 10 oz. jar maraschino cherries
1 shot vodka
1 shot Fireball Cinnamon whiskey
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 oz. baking white chocolate (or white choc chips or white melting chips) (dairy-free or vegan)
1 tsp almond milk, if needed to thin the white chocolate
2-3 Tbsp blue sugar sprinkles

Instructions

Pour off half of the maraschino cherry juice (save)
Pour the cherries and remaining juice into a bowl; add vodka, fireball and vanilla
Refrigerate for 8 hours ... or overnight
Pull the cherries out of the bowl (save the liquid!)
Gently pat the cherries dry
Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler (I don't have an actual double boiler myself; I make one using a small pan that I put the chocolate into ... and then put that small pan on top of a larger pan that has hot water in it). You can melt the chocolate in the microwave, but be careful not to burn it! I have better luck with my "double boiler" method.
Dip each cherry in the white chocolate (you may need to add 1 tsp almond milk to thin it); swirl the cherry to coat the bottom with white chocolate
Then dip/swirl in the blue sprinkles
Place them all on a plate and refrigerate for an hour or until the white chocolate firms back up. ENJOY responsibly! (not suitable for kids!!)

Notes

TIP: Save the cherry juice and booze you soaked the cherries in to make a Boozy Shirley Temple.

Use blue sugar sprinkles for patriotic holidays and green for Christmas!

NOTE: These are not suitable for children.
