Chocolate Covered Cherries

Ingredients:

1 cup powdered sugar

1 cup creamy peanut butter

2 tablespoons butter, softened

4 teaspoons vanilla

48 maraschino cherries with stems

9 ounces semi sweet chocolate

2 tablespoons crisco

Directions:

Start early as these require lots of chilling time. Add together first four ingredients;

cream well. Shape 48 3/4 inch balls. Set on waxed paper lined baking sheet. Chill 1

hour. Drain cherries well and pat dry. Flatten balls and carefully wrap around

cherries, encasing to base of stem.

If your fingers get sticky, just pat a little powdered sugar on them. Return to baking

sheet; chill 3 hours. Melt chocolate with crisco. Hold each cherry by its stem and dip

into chocolate, covering well. Return again to baking sheet and chill for 2 hours.
