Would make this again.
These are pretty cookies, but a little dry (even though I added the 2 T of juice). Stuffing the cherries is tedious. It served my purpose for Christmas cookies, but it won't be number one in my recipe box for cookies.

Would make this again.
These were awesome. Easy to make as well. I reserved the left over cherry juice mixed it with powdered sugar and drizzled it over the chocolate once it set.

These were very good. I've made them twice and the batch was gone the same night they were made! Family and friends loved them and I will be making some more soon !

Would make this again.
These taste just like cherry poptarts with a chocolate filling. They were great and pretty addicting. I also used 2 Tbsp of cherry juice per batch.
