Cooking Time: 5 min
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 cup (stick) butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • (10 ounces) jar stemmed maraschino cherries, well drained
  • (11 ounces) package milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
Instructions
  1. Line baking sheet with waxed paper.
     
  2. In small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, butter, and milk; mix until stiff dough forms. Shape dough evenly around each cherry and place on baking sheet. Freeze 15 minutes, or until firm.
