The chocolate is the only difference. I think I may let popular
opinion choose.

I knows this, I have a BUNCH of them!! I wrapped them each in foil,
and I have them in two containers because I didn't want to pack them
too heavy in my traditional Tupperware "ham" thing that I normally
use!

Now I'm gonna have pasta with red sauce for a late lunch/early
dinner,cause I am all chocolated OUT! :-)

I was just about to ask you if you'd tasted them before you were ready
to toss them. I'm glad they were successful.

I would never toss chocolate out before tasting, unless it smelled
burnt! I have burned bowls of melting chocolate before by hitting
"full power| rather than "defrost"on the microwave! ;-)

Try nuking a small glass bowl full at high power for 10 mins! You'll
burn it! I know I have!!

I'm pretty certain that I'll feel the same way. The filling is quite
sweet, and a high chocolate/sugar ratio seems very appropriate for the
coating, a coating that is balanced and worthy of the sublime
contents. All of your other candy is just OK--which is really a
compliment from me--except the toffee, which is perfect, but perfect
toffee just means not doing anything stupid.

John, your chocolate covered cherries are always something special,
and this year I expect that they will be exceptional. I've never
taken for granted your gifts of Christmas candy. It's a nice thing
that you do, year after year,

Oh yes, you can burn it easily...But he is using compound coating, not
the real thing....

Only significant difference between compound coating and real
chocolate that I know of is the fat content. Cocoa fat (butter) vs.
palm oil or some other vegetable oil or fat. And while there are a lot
(most?) of crappy compound coatings, there is at least one I know of
and have tried that's pretty good:

http://www.chocoley.com/compoundchocolate.htm

And it's $6.99 a lb for a reason! It's GOOD!

How much is that Merckins crap these days?

http://www.lorrainescakesupply.com/merckens.asp

$3.99 a lb? There's a reason there is such a price difference.
Merckens is crap!

I have NEVER burned real chocolate. I'm anally careful about warming
real chocolate very slowly so as to not break the temper.
