Method
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a stand mixer, combine the powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla, almond extract, sweetened condensed milk, and chopped cherries.
- Start the mixer on low speed for about 30 seconds, then increase to medium and mix for four minutes, scraping down the bowl as needed.
- Use a cookie scoop to drop mounds of the filling onto the prepared baking sheet and freeze for at least one hour.
- Roll each piece into smooth balls and freeze again for 30 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth.
- Stir in the chopped peanuts into the melted chocolate, adding coconut oil if needed to thin it out.
- Dip each frozen cherry center into the chocolate and let the excess drip off before placing it back on the parchment.
- Allow the candies to sit at room temperature for about 40 minutes to set.
- Store finished candies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Notes
These candies can be stored at room temperature or in the fridge for a firmer center.
