Ingredients

  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • Lots of powdered sugar
  • 2 jars of Maraschino cherries (drained, then frozen)
  • 2 squares bitter chocolate
  • 12 oz. pkg. chocolate chips
  • 4 T. melted paraffin

Directions

Cherries: It is easier to handle the cherries if they are frozen first, but not necessary. Beat the egg white until fluffy. Add vanilla, salt and enough powdered sugar to make a stiff dough. Beat with mixer until very stiff. Knead like bread dough. Wrap the cherries with sugar mixture and put on buttered wax paper over a cookie sheet. Chill or, better yet, put in freezer.

Chocolate Dip: Melt bitter chocolate and chocolate chips over hot water in double boiler. Add paraffin. Keep dip over hot water while dipping. Dip cherries. The stems can be left on for a handle or use a toothpick. Let drain and eat them.
