IME more cordials are made WITHOUT chocolate than with.
Think of all the fruit and herbal-flavored liqueurs like
Gran Marnier, Triple Sec, Kahlua, limoncello, Drambuie,
all the fruit schnapps, Framboise, Poire Helene, etc.

Are you talking about coridals/liqueurs or cordial filled chocolates?

That's true. And the original filled confections were a sugar
shell... there are still plenty of hard candies filled with booze.

I think somewhere, that I have a recipe for making 'em.....
where you enclose the cherry in a doughy type cream, that turns to liquid after being
encased and sets a long while....

Maybe, instead of chocolate-dipped pretzels, I'll dip some pretzels in some
peanut brittle candy (after it's been boiled).
