Bites
10 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
1 1/4 Cup Sugar
3 oz Bittersweet Chocolate, chopped
1/2 Teaspoon salt
1/2 Teaspoon vanilla extract
2 Eggs
2/3 Cup Cocoa Powder
1/2 Cup Flour
Jar of Maraschino Cherries with Stems Drained (need 24 with stems) with reserved juice

4 oz Bittersweet or Semisweet Chocolate (chips or chopped)
1/4 Cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
2-3 Teaspoons Reserved Cherry Juice

1
Bites:
2
In a heat-safe bowl set over simmering water (or double boiler), melt butter with sugar, chocolate and salt, whisk until combined. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Whisk in vanilla. Whisk in eggs, one at a time. Whisk in Cocoa Powder and Flour until combined. Chill dough slightly in the refrigerator (30-45 mins).
3
Heat oven to 325 degrees, and generously grease 24 mini muffin tins. Fill each muffin tin halfway with dough. Place one cherry in each tin, pressing down slightly (but not to the bottom). Top each with a little more dough so that cherry is completely covered and the stem sticks out from the top.
4
Bake 15-20 minutes. Cool in tins for 5-10 minutes, then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
5
Frosting:
6
In small saucepan, gently melt chocolate with sweetened condensed milk. Add enough cherry juice to be spreadable.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
