Crites Family Stuff

Description

I made these for my dad for Father's Day. As usual, he didn't get many of them because he forgot they were in the fridge but everyone else remembered!

Ingredients for 60 servings

• 60 maraschino cherries
• 3 tbsp butter, softened
• 3 tbsp corn syrup
• 2 cups sifted powdered sugar
• 1 lb chocolate confectioners' coating

Steps

1. Drain cherries and set on paper towels to dry.
2. In a medium bowl, combine butter and corn syrup until smooth. Stir in powdered sugar and knead to form a dough. Chill to stiffen if necessary. Wrap each cherry in about 1 tsp of dough. Chill until firm.
3. Melt confectioners coating in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Dip each cherry and place on waxed paper lined sheets. Chill until completely set. Store in an airtight container in a cool place.
