---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05 Title: Chocolate Candies Categories: Chocolate, Candies Yield: 1 servings 2 Jars Marachino cherries; * s -note 1 Butter or margarine; -softened 1 tb Canned milk 8 oz Semi-sweet chocolate 1 lb Confectioner's sugar 2 ts Vanilla (liqueur?) 1/4 Paraffin square * 10 oz each (I prefer with stems--it makes the dipping easier, and looks nice) Mix together sugar, butter, vanilla and milk. Wrap mixture around the cherries and chill overnight. Melt chocolate and paraffin together (don't skip the paraffin), and dip the cherries. Store in a cool place several days, and the moisture from the cherries will liquefy the center. It is better if you can just keep them cool, rather than refrigerated, as the fridge can cause the chocolate to bloom. The wax helps prevent this, and gives a lovely gloss. Paraffin--When I say 1/4 square, I mean 1/16th of the box. Yummmmmm. JILL KEMPF (JCWD22A) -----
