Use Fresh, Firm Cherries with Stems

Dry Cherries Thoroughly

[{ "selector": "#anim2", "keyframes": { "opacity": [0, 1] }, "delay": 0, "duration": 600, "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)", "fill": "both" }] Any moisture will make chocolate slide off, so be sure to dry cherries thoroughly.

Chill the Cherries Before Dipping

[{ "selector": "#anim3", "keyframes": { "opacity": [0, 1] }, "delay": 0, "duration": 600, "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)", "fill": "both" }] Cold surface of cherries will help chocolate freeze right away as it sticks to it, which ensures even coating.

Double Dip for Extra Coverage

[{ "selector": "#anim4", "keyframes": { "opacity": [0, 1] }, "delay": 0, "duration": 600, "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)", "fill": "both" }] To make the chocolate coating thick and even, dip the cherries two times.
