Recipe type: sweets
Ingredients
  • 16 oz. pkg powdered sugar
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 1 Tbsp. evaporated milk
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 10-oz jars maraschino cherries, with stems or without. (I like them with stems, easier to pick up and eat!)
  • 12 oz. chocolate flavored candy coating
  • 6 oz. pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Blend together sugar, butter, evaporated milk and vanilla.
  2. Dry your cherries on paper towels.
  3. Wrap each cherry in about 1 teaspoon sugar mixture. (I actually use about 2 tsp.)
  4. (I roll them between my hands so they are nice and round)
  5. Arrange on a baking pan lined with wax paper and refrigerate overnight.
  6. Melt together candy coating and chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave. (If melting in the microwave be sure to add 2 tsp vegetable oil to the chocolate chips, and then check and stir about every minute till it is nicely melted)
  7. Use a candy dipper to dip the cherries in the chocolate, or use two forks to dip them.
  8. Place on wax paper to cool.
