Chocolate Covered Cherries
Source of Recipe
MISFITZ
60 Maraschino cherries
3 T butter - softened
3 T light corn syrup
1/4 t salt
2 c sifted powdered sugar
1-1/2 lb chocolate bark
Drain cherries on paper towels. Combine butter, corn syrup and salt. Stir in powdered sugar - knead until smooth. Chill if too soft.
Shape 1 t sugar mixture around each cherry. Place on cookie sheet and chill (I freeze them). Melt chocolate and dip each candy until covered and chill again. Store in refrigerator in covered container 1 or 2 weeks before serving. This gives the cherry time to juice.
If you want to add an extra "kick" to these, drain the cherries the night before and soak them in Kirschwasser over night.
