Number Of Ingredients 7

2 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
¼ cup margarine
1 tablespoon milk
½ teaspoon almond extract
4 (4 ounce) jars maraschino cherries, drained
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening

  • In a medium bowl, mix together confectioner's sugar, margarine, milk and almond extract.

Leaving the stems sticking out, wrap the cherries in the circles by lightly rolling in hands. Place the wrapped cherries on wax paper and chill in the refrigerator at least 4 hours.
