Directions:

Mix crumbs, sugar and walnuts. Add boiling water to coffee in small bowl; stir until coffee is dissolved. Add margarine and corn syrup; mix until well blended. Add to crumb mixture; mix well.

Shape about 1 rounded teaspoonful crumbs mixture around each cherry, leaving stem of cherry uncoated. Place in shallow pan. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour.

Holding cherries by stems, dip into chocolate, turning to coat completely. Place on wire rack set over wax paper to collect drippings. After about 5 minutes, roll in coconut, colored sprinkles or nuts. Refrigerate until firm.
