Chocolate-covered Cherries

By: Emily G.

Description:
Time:	3 hr 45 min (3 hr 45 min to prepare, 0 min to cook)
Meal type:	Dessert
Ethnicity:
Number of Servings:	60
Ingredients:
60 maraschino cherries with stems 3 tablespoon butter, softened 3 tablespoon light-colored corn syrup 2 C sifted powdered sugar 1 pound chocolate-flavored candy coating, cut up
Directions:
1. Let cherries stand on paper towels for 2 hours to drain thoroughly. Line baking sheet with wax paper, set aside. 2. In medium bowl combine butter and corn syrup; stir in powdered sugar. Knead mixture until smooth (chill if mixture is too soft to handle). Shape about 1/2 teaspoon powdered sugar mixture around each cherry. Place coated cherries, stem side up, on prepared baking sheet. Chill for 1-4 hours or until firm. 3. In heavy saucepan melt candy coating over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Line another baking sheet with wax paper. Holding cherries by stems, dip one at a time into coating (be sure to completely seal cherries with coating to prevent juice from leaking). Let excess coating drip off. Place coated cherries, stem side up, on prepared baking sheet. 4. Let cherries stand until coating is set. Store tightly covered in cool, dry place for 1-2 weeks before serving (This allows the powdered sugar mixture around cherries to soften and liquefy).
