A Fireball Whiskey Party Recipe

We like our food boozy. Especially when we’re talking about party food! All kinds of Desserts, definitely a few specialty drinks, and always ton of appetizers can be infused with booze like whiskey.

You could put these Candied Fireball Cherries out for dessert, appetizers or just with cocktail hour and they are going to disappear. Just like popping a fruity bite of candy coated Fireball, all in one bite.

How To Make Candied Fireball Cherries

All you need to do is get yourself some of that candy coating for apples at the grocery store. Soak the cherries in Fireball for an hour or two and start dipping.

Please do be a little careful here, make sure all the Fireball has dripped out of the cherries and the cherries have been dried. You don’t want a legit Fireball in your kitchen.

So after your cherries have soaked up all the Fireball, make sure to lay them out on a paper towel and dry off as much moisture as you can. Also, the candy coating won’t stick to the cherries if they’re wet.

And then just let them set up to harden. It’s easy, and boozy. Just the way I like it.

I chose to pit the cherries first with a cherry pitter. You don’t have to if you don’t mind you friend spitting their pits out all over your house. Or maybe if this is an outside party…you could leave the pits in.

I just think when you’re making boozy snacks that you want to make them as easy as possible to eat. And there’s nothing more to these Candied Fireball Cherries than popping them into your mouth as fast as you can.
