Anyone can melt chocolate, dip cherries into it, and try to pass the finished product off as a chocolate-covered dessert. That's easy. But have you ever found that the chocolate has a hard time sticking to the fruit? In this recipe, the corn syrup and paraffin wax really help the chocolate mixture to form well around the cherries. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup white corn syrup
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 bottles cherries
- 12 ounces chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup paraffin wax
Directions:
Mix syrup, butter, vanilla and sugar; refrigerate 1 hour. Melt chips and wax together in top of a double boiler. Roll refrigerated mixture into small balls and form around drained cherries. Dip into chocolate-wax mixture. Place on waxed paper, and wait to serve until hardened.
