Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

36 Maraschino cherries (with stems)
3 tablespoons butter (softened)
3 tablespoons corn syrup
2 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
1 1/2 bags chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
2 teaspoons oil

Steps:

  • Drain cherries and set on paper towel to dry
  • 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.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl melt chocolate chips with oil for about 20 seconds at a time (stirring each time) until chocolate is just melted and completely smooth.
  • Dip each cherry in by its stem and place on wax paper-lined sheets. Place in an air-tight container (like a large tupperware) and store in a cool place for TWO WEEKS (yes, it is a long time-- but patience... I promise they taste best if you wait until the fondant softens)!
