BRACH'S Chocolate Stars are one of the most popular holiday chocolate candies, but you may not even know you're eating them! They're commonly used in baking, as these solid milk chocolate goodies are known for being pleasantly meltable and oh-so-enjoyable.

With the holidays right around the corner, we know you're going to be looking to cook up some delicious desserts to family gatherings, sweet soirees, and New Year's extravaganzas.  So, we booked some time in the Blair Candy Test Kitchen to whip up some BRACH'S Chocolate Cherry Cordial Cookies.
