For an extra layer of flavor complexity, consider adding a hint of almond extract to the fondant. Use high-quality chocolate for the coating. The better the chocolate, the better the cherry. Make sure the cherries are very dry before dipping to ensure the chocolate adheres properly. The ripening period is crucial for the filling to develop its signature creamy texture.
