Well, as luck would have it - Today the centers turned to liquid!! The day after the party. Oh, well. (Took 9 days.) They were still a huge hit. I sent the leftovers to work with my DH so I wouldn't keep eating them, he came home asking for the recipe as several of his male co-workers wants to give the recipe to their moms or wives. ~ Suzie

Here is the recipe I use --

Chocolate covered cherries

Recipe source: Better Homes and Garden New Cookbook; copyright 1981

60 maraschino cherries with stems
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 pound dipping chocolate (I use Ghirardelli dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips)

Drain cherries thoroughly on paper towels. Combine butter or margarine and corn syrup. Stir in powdered sugar; knead mixture til smooth. (Chill mixture if too soft.)
Shape ½ teaspoon of the sugar mixture around each cherry. Place coated cherries on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper; chill.
In a heavy 1 quart saucepan melt chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly. Holding by cherry stems, dip coated cherries, one at a time, into chocolate. Spoon chocolate over cherries to coat. Place cherries on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper. Chill. Store in refrigerator in a covered container. Let candies ripen in refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks before serving. Makes 60.

Let candies ripen in the 'fridge' for 1-2 weeks before serving.............you must be joking!! I'd have to have my husband deliver them to an unmarked refrigerator somewhere in the neighborhood until the 2 weeks was up, even then I'd be out at all hours of the day and night looking through kitchen windows for a guilty looking neighbor who had been eating my choc covered cherries!!!LOL
Sounds YUMMY!!!!
