Ingredients

Crown Royal Cherry Ingredients

  • 1 8 ounce jar of Maraschino Cherries
  • 8-16 ounces Crown Royal Whisky

Brownie Ingredients

  • 1 18.4 oz box of chocolate brownie mix
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 container of chocolate frosting
  • 1 8 ounce bag of Ghiradelli melting chocolate
  • 1 small container of chocolate sprinkles

Instructions

Cherry Directions

  • Drain and Rinse Maraschino cherries.
  • Pour the cherries into a small bowl.
  • Pour whisky over the cherries. Make sure you pour just enough to cover the top of the cherries.
  • Allow to sit overnight so that the cherries can soak in the whisky.
  • Remove cherries from the whisky and place onto a paper towel to allow the cherries to drip dry.

Brownie Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 13x9 baking pan with baking spray.
  • Follow the directions on the back of the box to prepare the brownie batter.
  • Once batter is made, pour it into the baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with few crumbs.
  • Allow to cool completely.
  • Once the brownies have cooled completely, start to crumble the brownies into a large bowl.
  • Mix in using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, 1/2 C of the chocolate frosting.
  • Mix until the brownies start to form a dough.
  • Using the small ice cream scooper, scoop out some dough and roll into a ball.
  • Push your thumb into the center of the dough ball to form an indention.
  • Place a cherry inside the indention.
  • Mold the dough around the cherry and roll it into a ball.
  • Place onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
  • Continue the steps until all cherries have been rolled into a ball.
  • Using a large microwave safe bowl, melt the melting chocolate in increments of 45 second or until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Using a fork, dip the brownie balls into the chocolate and roll until fully coated.
  • Pick up the brownie ball with the fork and lightly tap the edge of the bowl to remove extra chocolate.
  • Place brownie ball onto the cookie sheet.
  • Sprinkle a little bit of the chocolate sprinkles onto the brownie balls.
  • Repeat steps until all brownie balls have been dipped in the chocolate.
  • Allow the chocolate to harden before enjoying!
