Ingredients:

Serving

2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup margarine
1 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp almond extract
4 (4 oz) jars maraschino cherries, drained
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp shortening

Directions:

In a medium bowl, mix together confectioner's sugar, margarine, milk and almond extract.
On a lightly floured surface, knead the mixture into a large ball. Roll into 1 inch balls. Flatten the balls into 2 inch circles. Leaving the stems sticking out, wrap the cherries in the circles by lightly rolling in hands. Place the wrapped cherries on wax paper and chill in the refrigerator at least 4 hours.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt chocolate chips and shortening. Holding by the stem, dip the chilled cherries into the chocolate chip mixture. Chill until serving.
