Chocolate Cherry Tamales with Pecans for your Christmas Posadas

Posadas are near and we are preparing for our holiday feasting all month long. Tamales are always part of our celebration and a sweet variety is always a must.

I’m a big fan of sweet tamales. They can be made with a variety of different fresh fruit, dried fruit or nuts. This year, I decided to prepare some with one of my favorite flavor combinations: chocolate, cherry and pecans.

The preparation is very easy because the fruit and nuts are mixed in the dough. I garnished with maraschino cherries, a dollop of cream and a sprinkle of pecans and mint leaves. They are not only tasty but so pretty and festive for the holidays.

To give these delicious chocolate cherry tamales with pecans its sweetness, I used Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar. They are the perfect compliment to any Holiday dinner spread.
