List of Ingredients
Maraschino Cherries with stems, in heavy syrup.

Waxed paper on a cookie sheet or equivalent that will fit into your freezer
Recipe
Melt the chocolate over very low heat, stirring until completely melted and quite smooth.
Mix the three parts sugar, one part milk, and one part cherry syrup in a small bowl.

Dip chilled cherries into sugar mixture, and return them to the freezer for a few more minutes.
Repeat sugar dipping process, and return cherries to freezer just to set.
