Steps:
- Pour bourbon over drained cherries. Cover, refrigerate and allow to set for 2 days.
- Combine butter, corn syrup and salt. Blend until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar and mix well. Knead until smooth and shiny. Chill for 30 minutes wrapped in waxed paper.
- While chilling, drain cherries well on paper towels. Pat dry. Reserve bourbon marinade for a cake or other dish (will keep if it is covered and refrigerated).
- Shape a marble-sized piece of fondant around each cherry. Place on waxed paper and chill at least 2 hours until firm.
- Melt chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Dip cherries in chocolate and set back on waxed papers. Allow trays to cool in refrigerator. Store in airtight containers.
- Candy will ripen well in about 2 days.

[email protected]I used dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate and they turned out great. I think the dark chocolate gives them a more sophisticated flavor.

[email protected]These cherries are a little bit tart, but I like that. I think it balances out the sweetness of the chocolate perfectly.
