Chocolate Covered Cherries
2 ½ cups powdered sugar
¼ cup butter, melted
1 Tbsp. milk
½ tsp. almond extract
2 (8 oz) jars cherries with stems
1 cup milk chocolate chips for dipping
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips for dipping
vegetable oil
In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, butter, milk and extract. Chill dough. Drain cherries and place on a paper towel. Roll dough into one-inch balls and flatten each ball in the palm of your hand into a flat disk. (Use powdered sugar to keep your hands dry and the dough from becoming too sticky). Wrap each disk around a cherry, rolling the cherry lightly in your hands and pinching the dough together around the stem, removing any excess. This process takes practice. Freeze wrapped cherries. Combine chocolate chips together before melting; dip cherries in melted chocolate chips that have been thinned as desired with vegetable oil. Freeze again and store in an airtight container.
