INSTRUCTIONS
In small bowl, combine cherries and rum. Let soak 2 hours; drain on
paper towels. In medium bowl, combine condensed milk and corn syrup;
blend well. Add powdered sugar gradually, stirring until mixture forms
a still smooth dough. (if all powdered sugar can't be stirred in,
knead mixture and sugar on counter until smooth dough forms). Wrap
small amounts of the fondant around each cherry to cover completely.
Refrigerate about 20 minutes or until fondant is firm. Line cookie
sheet with waxed paper. Prepare dipping chocolate by cooking
ingredients over low heat until melted, stirring occasionally. Holding
by stem, dip chilled cherries into chocolate, making sure to cover
completely. Place on waxed paper-lined cookie sheet; refrigerate until
chocolate sets, about 10 minutes. Dip chilled candies into melted
chocolate again, making sure to coat ocmpletely. Place on lined cookie
sheet then cover lightly with waxed paper. Let stand several days in
cool place to allow fondant to liquefy. (do not refrigerate). Store in
airtight container in refrigerator (? >I just format them). Makes 2
1/2 dozen candies. One candy is 110 calories/4g fat. From Gemini's
