Categories     Candies

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 c sugar
2 Tbsp white syrup (or 1/8 tsp. cream of tartar)
1 1 /2 c boiling water
DIPPING CHOCOLATE
1 pkg 32oz ~ ghiradelli chocolate
4 ghiradelli chocolate squares, unsweetened
1 block paraffin wax

Steps:

  • 1. Combine ingredients and stir until sugar dissolves; boil; cover and boil 3 minutes; uncover; wipe sides and cook until soft ball stage. Pour on platter rinsed in cold water. Cool until you can handle with hands. Knead until creamy, stiff and free from lumps. (It may appear to have sugared, continue to knead until smooth.)
  • 2. Store in refrigerator for 24 hours. Drain maraschino cherries, place small balls of fondant inside cherries. (Cherries with fondant will dip better if placed in freezer for a short time.)
  • 3. Melt dipping chocolate in double boiler along with the paraffin wax. Use fork to dip cherries in the chocolate, place on a waxed paper and cool until set.
  • 4. NOTE: Fondant can also be flavored with maple, lemon, or orange flavorings; roll in a ball and dipped in chocolate for nuggets.

I used a different type of cherry than the recipe called for, and they turned out just as good.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it always turns out perfectly. The cherries are always plump and juicy, and the fondant is always smooth and creamy.

These cherries were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still very pretty.

I'm not a big fan of fondant, but these cherries were still very good. The chocolate was rich and the cherries were tart and juicy.

I used dark chocolate instead of semisweet, and the cherries were still plenty sweet. The fondant was also very rich and decadent.
