Don't let these sweet treats fool you; they're dangerous. Like, call-your-ex-bawling-at-3-a.m. dangerous. Or email your boss that you quit, using a gif of Real Housewives' Teresa Giudice flipping a table, just to show how dunzo you are.
They're so sweet that you can easily pop them like candy, downing half a dozen without even noticing the burn of the a-a-a-a-alcohol. Hence, the danger.
We can't claim the idea itself—as far as we can tell, all glory and love letters should be addressed to Frosting and A Smile, who popularized the idea of soaking maraschino cherries in vodka and double-dipping them in vanilla chips and blue sprinkles, creating a patriotic-ish, firecracker look. We made a few minor tweaks: First, using an even mix of whipped cream vodka and Fireball cinnamon whisky, just to give it a little kick of spice, in addition to the sweetness. Second, we used melted white chocolate chips in place of candy melts or vanilla chips; both work just as well. We just prefer white chocolate.
Wiping the cherries with a paper towel before dipping them in white chocolate is crucial, both for getting the chocolate to stick, and so that moisture doesn't cause the cocoa to seize up and get clumpy.
It may take a little effort, but these bombs are well worth it. Nobody will be able to resist them. Nobody.
