I am trying to slowly add recipes to this blog that we have filmed on the Tami Dunn YouTube channel. This is one of my favorite sweet treats that we made – Cherry Chews. Granted, they are very messy, but I cannot help but eat two or three at a time. In the video, I used my fingers to eat them, but they are easier to eat with a fork and you can take your time.
