Servings:

227grams

pkg. PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened 40

maraschino cherries, patted dry 36

OREO Cookies, finely crushed 340grams

BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted

Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Madeira, Prosecco

Cream Sherry, Madeira, and Prosecco are great choices for Cookies. Sweet bubbly Prosecco doesn't overwhelm simple sugar or shortbread cookies, a sweet cream sherry complements spiced cookies, and madeira's nutty notes match cookies with nuts perfectly. The NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.
