Chocolate covered cherries #1

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
60 Maraschino cherries with stems
3 tablespoons Butter
¼ teaspoon Salt
3 tablespoons Corn syrup
2 cups Confectioner's sugar; sifted
1½ pounds Sweet chocolate

Directions

Drain cherries on paper towels. Combine butter, corn syrup and salt. Stir in sugar. Knead until smooth. Chill if dough is very soft. Shape dough into marble-sized pieces and mold around cherries. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheet and chill. In heavy saucepan over hot water, melt chocolate, stirring constantly. Do not add water. Holding stems of cherries, dip, one at a time, into chocolate. Spoon over cherries to coat. Place on waxed paper in cool place to harden. Store in a covered container in a cool place and let ripen for 1-2 weeks so fondant will begin to liquify. Makes 60.
