Ingredients




1 pound maraschino cherries
1/2 cup butter

4 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
Coating chocolate

Preparation

1 Drain cherries; spread out on several layers of paper towel; dry well.   2 Cream butter until fluffy. Mix sugar and cream and vanilla. Mix well and knead with hands. Let fondant rest in refrigerator for 1 hour, or up to 6 hours. This allows the ingredients to meld. Wrap a small amount of this fondant around cherries. 3 Wax paper cookie sheets, and place cherries on the sheets. Chill and remove; let stand 30 minutes. Dip in melted chocolate.
