Title: Chocolate-Covered Cherries
Categories: Fruits, Chocolate, Candies
Yield: 36 servings
2 1/2 c Confectioners' sugar
1/4 c Butter; softened
1 tb Milk
1/2 ts Almond extract
16 oz (2 jars) maraschino cherries
- w/stems; well drained
2 c Semisweet chocolate chips
2 tb Shortening
In a small bowl, combine sugar, butter, milk and
extract. Knead until smooth and pliable. Shape into 1"
balls and flatten each into a 2" circle.
Wrap 1 circle around each cherry and lightly roll in
hands. Place with stems up on a waxed paper-lined baking

In a microwave, melt chocolate and shortening; stir
