Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Boozy Cherry Bombs
  1. Carefully remove the maraschino cherries from the jar, keeping their stems intact, and pat dry with a paper towel.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, place the Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring until completely melted.
  3. Stir in the Malibu rum into the melted white chocolate until fully combined.
  4. Pour bright blue sanding sugar into a shallow dish, spreading it out evenly for easy coating.
  5. Dip each cherry into the melted chocolate, covering about two-thirds, and tap to allow excess to drip off.
  6. Immediately roll the dipped cherries in the blue sanding sugar until evenly coated.
  7. Place each cherry on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them set at room temperature for about 10 minutes before refrigerating.
  8. Refrigerate the Boozy Cherry Bombs for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate has completely set and serve cold.
