Serves/Makes: 40 | Ready In: 1-2 hrs
Ingredients:
1/3 cup soft butter
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1 jar (1 lb. size) maraschino cherries with stems, well drained
2 milk chocolate candy bars (8 ounce size), cut up
Directions:
Beat together the butter, corn syrup, and vanilla in a mixing bowl until smooth, using an electric mixer at medium speed. Gradually add the salt and 3 cups of the confectioners sugar. Mix well.
When the mixture becomes too stiff to beat, stir using a wooden spoon. Add enough confectioners sugar to make a mixture than can be kneaded.
Form the mixture into a 10 inch roll. Wrap in plastic wrap or waxed paper. Refrigerate until firm.
Cut roll into 1 inch slices. Cut each slice into quarters. Flatten each piece in the palm of hand. Place a cherry in the center. Fold up the fondant around the cherry until it is completely covered.
Place on waxed paper lined baking sheet. Chill until firm. Melt the milk chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot water. Cool slightly.
Dip the fondant-covered cherries in the melted chocolate. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate until the chocolate sets. Store in the refrigerator.
