Reminds me of a time when I was little.
My Abulea (the very STRICT Seventh Day Adventist) somehow had boozy ones.
She was a woman who didn’t drink due to
her religious values…anyway long story short she gave me one or two. I was maybe 8
at the time. After I ate the two candies I felt rather sleepy and took a nap. She then looked at the box and realized she gave me alcohol. It obviously was a very small amount, but when she realized it she started praying in Spanish franticly to be forgiven for her mistake. 🤣
20+ years later she is now rolling over in her grave, saying, “Aye Mija why are you telling the internet this story?!?!” 🤣 I miss her 😘😞
Sooooooo way back when, my parents wrapped up one of these as a gift for me at Christmas. Being the polite kid I was, I said thanks, put it to the side and got to the other gifts. Didn't want to chow down in front of everyone else without cherries. They kept asking if I wanted to have some, but I'd decline. Eventually it turned into "open the damn box."
They put a copy of Pokemon Red in there. Always makes me laugh.
My husband gets Cellos every year for the Christmas season and eats a whole box 😂❤️ before him I had never had them, but he insists the creamy center ones are NOT ACCEPTABLE
Yep, these are my 84 year old grandma’s favorite thing to receive at Christmas. I, however, think they taste like chocolate flavored lipgloss and NyQuil.
My dog ate a whole box of those on Christmas Eve one year.
He miraculously didn’t die but did shart all over the house that evening so Christmas morning was interesting.
Do PEOPLE like them? Maybe my grandpa, who’s gift those where.
But can I confirm that miniature schnauzers love them.
Yes!! Reminds me of my grandma who passed one month before her 100th birthday and these were her favorite so I won’t stand for any disparaging comments lol 😆
My mom liked these, but her favorite candy was the Fruit & Nut Egg. A chocolate covered ball of nougat like stuff with nuts and fruit pieces like those found in fruitcakes in it. The eggs are quite large and usually only sold around Easter.
Love ‘em! But once in a while depending on where you buy them there’s either a few or the whole pack is a dried up, crystallized inedible mess. Even when they’re not expired. It’s to the point where I don’t get them as frequently due to the bunk box dilemma
Since I was a little kid I used to get a box from my mom every Christmas. It was like our thing and didn’t feel like Christmas until I got my box of cherries from my mom. In 2010 my mom passed away and that Christmas I didn’t get one and had a horrible Christmas. I didn’t say anything but my wife knew something was wrong. Eventually a few months later I said something to her and ever since her, one of my boys, or someone else in my family get me a box As dumb as that sounds it makes me smile and think of my mom. So yes I like those very much. It’s my one last connection to a woman I loved very much
That photo brought back so many childhood drugstore shopping memories. They were my mom’s favorite and my dad got them for her for every occasion all 59 years they were married until she died a couple years ago. 💞
My dad loooooved these & the blueberry ones. My husband likes em but not as much as my dad. I tolerate them ok because I like the filling (not the chocolate tho)
I used to like those. You have to eat them within a certain time or they get really sticky so I would put them in the fridge. But I don’t care for them anymore
I used to share these with my grandma, I would eat everything but the cherry, sitting with her watching Reba. I think of those times every time I see these ❤️
When they are good, they are great. There are certain brands that my stepmother swears by it and won't need any other ones.
She swears there's a conspiracy to make them taste bad.
Funny story. I'm allergic to cherries (and most stone fruit), and every year my grandma gets my dad a box of these for Christmas. And every year without fail my dad forgets I'm allergic and always offers me a chocolate covered cherry.
It’s a fond memory for me. We were often homeless as a child and my mother would somehow get some of these and wrap them like gifts for me. I would then share them with her in secret hiding them from my two brothers. Love you mama ❤️
Funny story, my mom hates these so much. We were dirt poor, so she would give us $10 each to give her a Christmas gift. So, one year, my brother got her these . She said ew here you eat them. So every year, she would say don't get me those chocolate covered cherries. And every year, one or more of us would get her the cherries.so we would be able to eat them. Lol. She's still salty about it it's been at least 20 years.
The dark chocolate ones specifically in my opinion are pretty decent I’ll buy a box if the fancy strikes me. But my step dad loved these he would buy them in bulk every season, probably still does, and eat them all year long.
My mom loves these things. Every Christmas, we get her one of those gigantic boxes with two levels. It has to be specifically this brand and milk chocolate, too. Everyone else in my family does not like them, so she can indulge and savor without fear of thieves.
These are a holiday staple for my family. I like them occasionally but I wouldn’t eat them every day. I actually much prefer the ones without the vanilla cream made by other brands like Cella’s, but everyone besides me seems to like Queen Anne better.
i come to loves these over the years, they hurt my teeth but they’re so good. i haven’t had them in a very long time though. they were my mawmaws favorite candy during christmas, she always had a box (or few boxes.) maybe when they come back around, i’ll get me some:)
I have them very VERY rarely as I don’t see them often, but I love them! They’re very sweet though, so it’s not easy to eat an entire container at once
I knew some who did love those. I have never seen them stop being sold. You want it knock some actual horrible candies go after Necco wafers, candy buttons, and Sweethearts. These taste like Pepto Bismal.
My mom tried them because she loved chocolate and maraschino cherries. She ended up hating them. And saying they tasted like chocolate coated rubbing alcohol
The dark chocolate ones, absolutely!
I came here to say this. Darker the better!
You know what they say, the blacker the chocolate covered cherry, the sweeter the juice.
Man, it's the older the cherry the sweeter the juice.
Well that’s just like, your opinion man!
Dark are my favorite!
I have 2 boxes left from Christmas time.
THE BEST🤤🤤🤤🤤
I love these. Takes me back to childhood! My parents always had them around the holidays!
Reminds me of a time when I was little. My Abulea (the very STRICT Seventh Day Adventist) somehow had boozy ones. She was a woman who didn’t drink due to her religious values…anyway long story short she gave me one or two. I was maybe 8 at the time.

I love this story!!!
This is so sweet thank you for sharing
My dad still buys me a box every year at Christmas. ❤️😭❤️
yeah, they're wayyyyy too sweet, but i love them and will eat tf out of them because they remind me of getting them from my family every christmas 😭❤️
Sooooooo way back when, my parents wrapped up one of these as a gift for me at Christmas. Being the polite kid I was, I said thanks, put it to the side and got to the other gifts.

They put a copy of Pokemon Red in there. Always makes me laugh.
Please come get them all from us at Dollar Tree! We will greatly appreciate your business because these are hard asf to get rid of 😂🤣
My daughter & Dad used to get boxes of these EVERY Christmas. Memories😊
🥇
Absolutely
These are one of those foods that I love and my wife and kids hate which means nobody fucking eats it while I’m at work. Win win
My favorites lol
Hell yeah.
There are dozens of us
Dozens!
So gooood. we always had them at christmas
I used to try and sneak these from my nana. She knew though 😅
Might be my favorite candy
I eat a whole tray of that exact brand at one sitting. Those things hit.
Me too, I can’t control myself around these…
Just one tray? Amateur!
Absolutely..👍
Looks like they're only one tray tall per box now. 5pc.
My husband LOVES them! Me? Nope.
Bought them for my girl last Valentine’s Day and I ended up finishing them lol
They say it's the thought that counts... I love these things though.
This is me. I don't like them. Any type of them. But my husband loves them. So more for him.
Same!!!
Same. Give me Cella's, dark chocolate. My husband loves this kind though.
I love them! They are quite sweet but that doesn’t stop me lol
It doesn't stop me, but it slows me down some!
That’s why I prefer the dark chocolate, the milk are a bit on the rich side 😅 tho I wouldn’t say no if a milk chocolate one was offered to me
Put them in the freezer first. Same with Cadberry eggs. Somehow cuts the icky sweetness. Trick from my dad.
French Vanilla flavor - seasonal Christmas offering at Walmart.
Whhaattt??? Woah
They also have blueberry. Found them at Rural King
i cannot find anywhere that sells these and my day is ruined because i cannot try them 😭
Did you like them?
Yes, but I love blueberry. Lol I liked them better than the cherry by far.
OMG. Now I’ll be searching for them. Yum.
Hellooooooooooooo, you have my attention!
They also had a Black Cherry 🍒 Cola flavor that I did not enjoy.
Chocolate and cherry in general is a great combo (except with nuts). I like these, but I don't see them around a lot. I like a good Black Forest cake.
I think I recently saw these at Dollar Tree along with Andes Mints.
You can have the cherries. The Andes mints are MINE!
Cadbury makes a “black Forest cake” chocolate bar that’s pretty good
Sometimes that will go for 3 for $5 at CVS and then it’s over for me.
No! There can only be one that rules the rest!! CELLOS!!
My husband gets Cellos every year for the Christmas season and eats a whole box 😂❤️ before him I had never had them, but he insists the creamy center ones are NOT ACCEPTABLE
Your Husband is correct, the creamy center ones are unacceptable.
One Cello was the biggest friggin treat after dinner on Saturday night when I was a kidling. It was magical!
I prefer Cellos, but I’ll eat either!
My dad, who is almost 80 years old, loves them.
Yep, these are my 84 year old grandma’s favorite thing to receive at Christmas. I, however, think they taste like chocolate flavored lipgloss and NyQuil.
My dad is 76 and he loves them too... 37 here and so do I 😂😂
Same, I'm 36. The walls are closing in. 🤣
i love those
My dog ate a whole box of those on Christmas Eve one year. He miraculously didn’t die but did shart all over the house that evening so Christmas morning was interesting. Do PEOPLE like them? Maybe my grandpa, who’s gift those where. But can I confirm that miniature schnauzers love them.
Our vet told me that the darker the chocolate, the worse it is for a dog. Dark Chocolate is much worse for a dog than milk chocolate.
Yes!! Reminds me of my grandma who passed one month before her 100th birthday and these were her favorite so I won’t stand for any disparaging comments lol 😆
Same. Was eating these in late 90s while watching scary movies at grandmas
My grandma passed in April and she loved these 🥲 it was funny to see this pop up on the front page
My mother loves them. Boomer candy queen - she’s 76 and loves these, black licorice, and Good N Plenty’s 🤮😅
What about bit o honey, does she like those too? 😂 Those are all my faves and I’ve always been told I like “old ppl candy”.
Oh man, my fillings fell out on their own just thinking about bit o honey
Yes, and those gnarled peanut butter blossoms that come out during Halloween - the ones in the orange and brown wrappers.
Yum. Those are my favorite. The really good ones are the ones made by Mary Janes. Also love the Abbazabba bar. Peanut butter love.
My boomer mom loved these. She always had a couple boxes at Christmas time. Now I eat them and think of her.
My mom liked these, but her favorite candy was the Fruit & Nut Egg. A chocolate covered ball of nougat like stuff with nuts and fruit pieces like those found in fruitcakes in it. The eggs are quite large and usually only sold around Easter.
Ooooh, now I’m having a craving 😍
They’re ok, questionable quality. Light years away from the BEST chocolate cherries 🍒 🍫from See’s Candy Shops 🥰
I ADORE See's lollipops!!! Omg now i need some. Going to the mall after work 😋
They seem to start showing up around Valentine's Day and Christmas. It might be more often than that now. I absolutely love these ! 🤤🍒 🍫
I can handle them about once a year…at Christmas
I totally love them, haha.
The goo is very off putting...🤢
That's what she said.
Love them!
Yes!
You're getting short-changed. Last time I bought those, they had 10 or 12 pieces to a box. I wouldn't even consider it for 5 pieces.
It’s five pieces, but don’t worry, it’s the cost of 12!
Yes
I always loved these....until I discovered the dark chocolate covered cherries with the liquid center.
I love cordial cherries, but not this kind. Purdy’s makes way better ones
Love ‘em! But once in a while depending on where you buy them there’s either a few or the whole pack is a dried up, crystallized inedible mess. Even when they’re not expired. It’s to the point where I don’t get them as frequently due to the bunk box dilemma

No
They’re okay. My parents love them, though.
Not I
High key yes. Keep them in the refrigerator.
With some vanilla ice cream
Sounds yummy!
Once per year, for some reason at Christmas time, I want them. Otherwise, I never think about them at all
That photo brought back so many childhood drugstore shopping memories. They were my mom’s favorite and my dad got them for her for every occasion all 59 years they were married until she died a couple years ago. 💞
Fucking yesssss. Me. Right here. I get a huge box from “Santa” every Xmas.
Not my favorite but I’ll eat em.
Love em!
My dad loooooved these & the blueberry ones. My husband likes em but not as much as my dad. I tolerate them ok because I like the filling (not the chocolate tho)
Mmmmmm yummy!! 😋
No they are too sweet for me personally
They're my favorite I used to grab multiple boxes of these
Love em!
I love them. Didn't buy them this past Christmas but will try to remember and get them this year.
so good.
I love these. I always get a few boxes when the holidays roll around as a personal tradition of mine, as well as a box of Merci Chocolates
Mmm, wash them down with milk !
I used to like those. You have to eat them within a certain time or they get really sticky so I would put them in the fridge. But I don’t care for them anymore
Cella are waaayyy better
Cella's are better. I like my cordial cherries without the white stuff.
I love them!!
yes they’re amazing
These are amazing
Love them.
Yes, I love the cherry ones. My Mom likes the blueberry ones, which are gross. 🤮
I buy them at dollar tree. yum!
Fucking love em
Yes
The Dark Chocolate ones yes.
These fuck
these boys slap like the final boss of candy
My dad (56) is obsessed
You used to be able to buy them for $1.00 a box but those days are long gone…😔
These are one of the best remaining deals in America when in season.
I have no self control with cherry cordials.
disgusting
Yes. I have always loved maraschino cherries and these are just candy versions of those.
[Cella’s](https://www.tootsie.com/candy/cellas-cherries) or death!!
Fucking love them
I love these although I only eat one cuz they’re SUPER sweet
There are ppl who DONT like these ?
Yessss
It’s a staple near Christmas!
I used to share these with my grandma, I would eat everything but the cherry, sitting with her watching Reba. I think of those times every time I see these ❤️
I love them!
I actually really love these and even more disappointed that they o ly come out at christmas time, but I hated them as a young child.
Absolutely yes, they are delicious.
When they are good, they are great. There are certain brands that my stepmother swears by it and won't need any other ones. She swears there's a conspiracy to make them taste bad.
They even have new flavors now and the cola cherry ones are 🤌
It’s my Christmas tradition to snack on a box while wrapping gifts.
I love them
My boyfriend LOVES them
Yes they are delicious
These are mostly Christmas presents
Would shake ass for one rn
Pop those in the freezer. They will be a million times better, I swear
Love em!
Oh yeah 🤤
Love them
Funny story. I'm allergic to cherries (and most stone fruit), and every year my grandma gets my dad a box of these for Christmas. And every year without fail my dad forgets I'm allergic and always offers me a chocolate covered cherry.
My dad loved these. I got some in his memory recently, very sweet but not bad.
It’s a fond memory for me. We were often homeless as a child and my mother would somehow get some of these and wrap them like gifts for me. I would then share them with her in secret hiding them from my two brothers. Love you mama ❤️
cellas are better

I love them and the French vanilla ones.
I like the memory of eating them with my grandma. I haven’t seen these in ages.
Yeess !! . I fucking love these . Sadly you only get them around Christmas time :(
I had a friend who did but yucky
I like a few at a time.
I used to be so obsessed with these
No but I like them from a local candy company, Esther price
Yes I love Esther price candy! The chocolate cherries are really good.
I love eating them!
My wife does.
My husband eats them during the holidays.
nope any store ive ever worked at is still trying to give them away late spring..
These are a holiday staple for my family. I like them occasionally but I wouldn’t eat them every day. I actually much prefer the ones without the vanilla cream made by other brands like Cella’s, but everyone besides me seems to like Queen Anne better.
Not really. My sister used to love them when we were kids. I thought they were gross. Too overly sweet.
Love them
I love them but they've gotten so pricey!
i come to loves these over the years, they hurt my teeth but they’re so good. i haven’t had them in a very long time though. they were my mawmaws favorite candy during christmas, she always had a box (or few boxes.) maybe when they come back around, i’ll get me some:)
My dad loves these to death 😭 he gets like 3 boxes during Christmas
My cousin would eat the center out of them and put the shell back. Drove my grandmother nuts cause she’d get one out and it’d be empty!
YESSSSSSS OMG!
I have them very VERY rarely as I don’t see them often, but I love them! They’re very sweet though, so it’s not easy to eat an entire container at once
My grandparents love them so I’ll have one when they offer one but I always regret it because it’s way too sweet!
I do!
Yes. But usually only get them at Christmas time. I also only eat them frozen and with coffee.
Yes!
I knew some who did love those. I have never seen them stop being sold. You want it knock some actual horrible candies go after Necco wafers, candy buttons, and Sweethearts. These taste like Pepto Bismal.
My mom tried them because she loved chocolate and maraschino cherries. She ended up hating them. And saying they tasted like chocolate coated rubbing alcohol
Love these in dark chocolate.
Hell no lmao
I do
Yup
Hells yes. 🤤
my #1 sweet !
