One of my favorite candies my mom would make at Christmas. They are a lot of work, but are so much better than the ones you buy. I haven't made these in so long, next Christmas!!
Chocolate covered Cherries
Ingredients
2 jars of maraschino cherries
1/3 cup soft butter
2 cups marshmallow creme
1/2 tsp almond flavoring
4 cups powdered sugar
2 12-oz pkg chocolate chips, or dipping chocolate
1/2 bar paraffin (optional, my mom used this so the chocolate would get hard)
Directions
Drain cherries well. Overnight is best!
Mix butter, marshmallow creme, almond, and powdered sugar. Chill 1 hour or longer.
Break off a little piece and flatten in the palm of your hand. Place cherry in the center and fold into a ball. Place on pan covered with waxed paper. Freeze overnight.
Melt chocolate or dipping chocolate. Dip cherry balls into the chocolate using two spoons - or a toothpick. Place on waxed paper to set. Dot any open spots with chocolate.
Refrigerate. Takes up to 2 weeks to get juicy!
