These candies are delectable. Covered first with chocolate and than white chocolate, they are truly decadent! If you're really a chocolate fanatic (like me), try using semisweet chocolate instead of white for the second coating.
Divide into 24 pieces (about 2 tsp each) and shape into balls.
06Flatten each ball and mold around cherries, covering cherry completely (leaving stem out).
07Refrigerate at least an hour or until very cold and very firm.
08Line large cookie sheet with waxed paper.
09In a small saucepan over very low heat or in the microwave, melt chips and shortening or wax until smooth.
10Place pan or bowl over hot water to keep dipping consistency.
11Holding stems (or use toothpicks if your cherries have no stems), dip covered cherries into melted chocolate and allow excess to drip back into pan or bowl.
12Place on waxed papered cookie sheet to set.
13Place in miniture muffin cups if desired and store in tightly covered container or in the refrigerator.
