List of Ingredients

Chocolate Covered Cherries

60 maraschino cherries with stems
3 T butter, softened
3 T corn syrup
2 cups sifted powdered confectioners sugar
1 pound chocolate confectioners coating

Drain cherries and set on paper towels to dry. In a medium bowl,
combine butter and corn syrup until smooth. Stir in confectioners'
sugar and knead to form a dough. Chill to stiffen if necessary. Wrap
each cherry in about 1 teaspoon of dough. Chill until firm. Melt
confectioners' coating in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Dip each
cherry in by its stem, and place on waxed paper lined sheets. Chill
until completely set. Store in an airtight container in a cool place.
Best after 1 or 2 weeks. Makes 60 pieces.
