    CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRIES


    Source of Recipe


    Aunt Saunny

    1/3 cup butter, softened
    2 cups marshmallow creme
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon almond extract
    4 cups sifted powdered sugar
    36 maraschino cherries, drained
    1 package (12 ounce) semi sweet chocolate pieces
    1 inch square paraffin (or a little more)

    Cream the butter and beat in the marshmallow creme, salt and almond extract. Add the powdered sugar, gradually, mixing well after each addition. Turn out and knead until smooth, working in extra sugar if necessary. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Drain the cherries thoroughly. Wrap each cherry in some of the powdered sugar mixture. (Make sure to cover the cherry completely.) Refrigerate cherries for several hours or overnight. Melt the chocolate and the paraffin in the top of a double boiler, over hot water. Dip the covered cherries into the chocolate and place on wax paper to set. Refrigerate.
