List of Ingredients




60 maraschino cherries with stems
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
3 tablespoons margarine, softened
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening

Pat cherries dry with a paper towel; set aside. In a small mixing bowl, combine the sugar, margarine, corn syrup and salt; mix well. Knead until smooth. Cover and refrigerate one hour. Roll into ½-inch balls; flatten each into a 2-inch circle. Wrap each circle around a cherry and roll lightly in hands. Place cherries with stems up on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Cover lightly and refrigerate one hour.

In a microwave or heavy saucepan, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Holding onto the stem, dip each cherry into chocolate; set on waxed paper. Refrigerate until hardened. Store in a covered container. Refrigerate 1-2 weeks before serving. Makes 5 dozen.
