Ready in: > 5 hrs
Difficulty: 3 (1=easiest :: hardest=5)
Serves/Makes: 3 dozen
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 jars (8 oz. each) maraschino cherries with stems, well drained*
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening
Directions:
In mixing bowl, combine sugar, butter, milk, & extract; mix well. Knead into large ball. Roll into 1 inch balls & flatten each into 2 inch circle. Wrap around cherries & lightly roll in hands. Place with stem up on waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Cover loosely & refrigerate 4 hours or over night.
Melt the chocolate chips & shortening in a double-boiler or microwave-safe bowl. Holding onto stem, dip cherries into chocolate; set on waxed paper to harden. Store in a covered container. Refrigerate 1-2 weeks before serving. The longer the sit the juicier the center will be.
*We have found that the cheap brand of cherries make a very dry cherry so you may not want to drain them much. If you end up with a dry filling store them on the counter for a week, which seems to help some.
