After letting them set and dry a bit, I then dip them in the tempered chocolate all the way up the to the stem, even onto the stem. Having a pre-made chocolate "pedestal" to set the chocolate dipped cherries reduces the likelihood of having the cherry settle to the bottom of the chocolate which lets the fondant escape the thinned coating of chocolate.
