Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine butter and milk. Gradually beat in confectioners’ sugar until a smooth dough is formed. Cover with plastic wrap.

For chocolate-covered cherries, shape dough into 1-in. balls; flatten to 2-in. circles. Wrap each circle around a cherry and gently reshape into a ball. Chill. Dip into milk chocolate coating; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Chill until firm. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 9 dozen.
