What a wonderful day! I love chocolate by itself or covered over other foods or in cakes, or candies.
A favorite for my husband and I this time of year is Chocolate Covered Cherries.
1/4 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 (16 ounce) package powdered sugar, sifted
pinch of salt
1 cup flaked coconut
2 (6 ounce) bottles maraschino cherries
12 ounces chocolate flavored candy coating
Cream butter, add condensed milk, powdered sugar and stir, beating well. Stir in coconut; cover and chill at least 2 hours.
Drain cherries, and dry thoroughly on paper towels. Shape a small amount of the sugar mixture around the cherry. Place on wax paper lined baking sheet; chill about 2 hours or until firm.
Place candy coating in top of a double boiler; bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cook until coating melts. Dip each covered cherry into melted coating. Place on wax paper to cool. Store in cool place. Yield: 4 dozen.
