Chocolate Cherries
10 oz jar maraschino cherries with stems, drained
2 tablespoons amaretto
1/2 cup condensed milk
2 teaspoons Karo
2 1/4 to 2 1/2 cups icing sugar
6 oz semisweet chocolate morsels
1/4 cup Karo
1 tablespoon water
In small bowl, combine cherries and amaretto. Let stand 2 hours.
Drain.
In medium bowl, combine condensed milk and corn syrup. Blend well.
Add icing sugar and mix until a stiff dough forms. Knead in remaining
powdered sugar, if needed, until a smooth dough forms.
Wrap a small amount of fondant around each cherry and refrigerate
for about 20 minutes. The fondant should be firm. Line a cookie
sheet with wax paper.
Make the coating by melting the chocolate chips, corn syrup and
water over low heat.
Carefully dip each fondant covered cherry in chocolate and place
on wax paper. Refrigerate about 10 minutes until chocolate sets.
Dip in chocolate again making sure the cherries are well covered.
Place on a wax paper covered cookie sheet, cover loosely with wax
paper, and let sit several days to allow centers to liquefy. Store
in airtight container in refrigerator.
Makes 2 1/2 dozen candies
