2-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp almond extract
2 jars (8 oz each) maraschino cherries with stems , well drained

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine the sugar, butter, milk and extract. Knead until smooth and pliable. Shape into 1-in. balls and flatten each into a 2-in. circle.

In a microwave, melt chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Holding onto the stems, dip cherries into chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper until set. Store in a covered container. Refrigerate 1-2 weeks before serving. Yield: 3 dozen.
