Chocolate Covered Cherries


I think you either love 'em or hate 'em. I have to say I'm on the hate them end of the spectrum. I just can't get over that gooey, gloppy, creamy white stuff that's in the middle. Yuck!
But apparently a lot of people must love 'em. Everywhere I go, WalMart, Target, Kroger, etc there are what seems like thousands of boxes. And they never run out during the holidays. You never hear anyone say, "I went to the store to get a box of chocolate covered cherries and there wasn't one to be found."
I worked at Baskin Robbins all through high school. Baskin Robbins has flavors that are staple ones that remain all the year through but they also have what they call seasonal flavors. At the end of Thanksgiving, beginning of December, we would get Winter White Chocolate Ice Cream in-- and people would go crazy over that stuff. We could never keep it in stock no matter how much we ordered. It was white chocolate ice cream with chunks of chocolate covered cherries and a ribbon of that gooey, gloppy white creamy stuff that's inside chocolate covered cherries.(I think I'm describing this accurately- its been a few years- ha!)
So, back to my question... Chocolate covered cherries-- love 'em or hate 'em?

Well if it contains chocolate and I get desperate and they are around I will go after them but normally not my thing. I know lots of people who like them.

I know what you mean about one arm getting bigger than the other-- your "scooping" arm. :) We had visors- they didn't break my forehead out but made a very lovely case of hat hair.
Marble Slab looks like it might be more difficult to work at- besides just scooping the ice cream - don't you have to hand mix it with all of those toppings?
Ok-I'm making myself hungry!

I'm with you Ashley!

Vickie- you're funny! I guess if you were having a chocolate attack and that's all you had, you could eat just the choc shell part of the cherry. Ha!

I'm late on this but YECH YECH YECH! I really don't like anything cherry - makes me think of cherry tylenol as a kid. YECH! Jason's dad is a lover of them though and one of his three kids always gets him a box for Christmas!

I love them...Jeremy hates them though. You are right, you either love them or hate them. I can't eat an entire box though. I am content with a few chocolate covered cherries at the holidays!
