Chocolate-covered cherries are a dessert confection. Variations include cherry cordials with liquid fillings often including cherry liqueur, as well as chocolate-covered candied cherries and chocolate-covered dried cherries.
Major U.S. brands of chocolate-covered cherries include Cella's, Brach's, Queen Anne's (World's Finest Chocolate), and Marich Confectionery.
The National Confectioners Association in the United States has designated January 3 as "National Chocolate-Covered Cherry Day."

Notes
- "The idea came from the enduring popularity of the chocolate-covered cherry confection — a combination of chocolate and cherries which appears to have not diminished in any way over the decades."
