Maraschino Cherries-2 small jars
1 stick butter
6 Tbsp corn syrup
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. Vanilla
3 lbs powdered sugar

1 Mix all ingredients except the cherries and chocolate, into a soft dough 2 Wrap each cherry in a ball of dough 3 Freeze cherries for 1 hour 4 Dip sugar dough wrapped cherries into melted chocolate 5 Allow cherries to cool without touching on parchment paper 6 Store cherries for 2 weeks for sugar to liquify with the cherry juice inside.

About

Easy to make, chocolate covered cherries need a two week period for them to ripen. This is what turns the insides to liquid and makes that first bite so satisfying. Enjoy!
