50 Whole candied cherries
3/4 c Cherry brandy
1/2 lb Sweet milk chocolate, broken
-into pieces 1/4 lb Unsweetened baking
-chocolate, broken into -pieces 1 1/3 c Powdered sugar
3 tb Unsweetened cocoa
Powdered sugar Unsweetened cocoa Soak the cherries in the brandy overnight or longer. Drain cherries, reserve the brandy. Cream butter and sugar with a mixer. In a double boiler, melt the chocolates. Spoon the melted chocolate, spoon by spoon, into the butter and sugar mixture and mix thoroughly by hand. Add reserved brandy to sugar and chocolate mixture and stir in my hand until all is absorbed. Add 3 T. cocoa and mix by hand. Put mixture in a clean bowl and thoroughly chill in the freezer. Meanwhile, make a 50-50 mixture of powdered sugar and cocoa. Begin with 1/3 c. EACH and mix thoroughly. Heavily dust a sheet of waxed paper on a working surface. When the chocolate mixture is chilled and very stiff, remove from the freezer. Drop by teaspoonfuls on dusted working surface and dust your fingers in the sugar/cocoa mixture, press with fingers to make a small flat shape with the chocolate. Drop a cherry in the center and form a ball around the cherry. Working quickly, complete the shape by rolling the ball between your palms. Roll ball in sugar/cocoa mixture to coat. Continue working until the chocolate mixture is too soft to continue. Return to freezer to chill some more and continue until all the chocolate and cherries are gone. The chocolate covered cherries can be stored in the frig. For a lighter, sweeter chocolate taste, increase the sweet chocolate and decrease or eliminate the unsweetened chocolate. The more milk chocolate you use, the more diffucult it will be to work with as it melts rather rapidly. You can also substitute and equal portion of semi-sweet bits (toll house chocolates) for the chocolate. Other candied fruit and liquors can be used according to your taste. Enjoy!

*BASIC MIXTURE*
1 package, Cream Cheese, 8 OZ.
2 LBS, Powdered Sugar, 1 pound = 4 cups
Chocolate:
Check the date on your cream cheese when purchasing, can get it a couple months ahead.
Let cream cheese come to room temperature, add powdered sugar a little at a time and cut into cheese with a fork or pastry cutter, after you have added a couple cups of sugar, pour mixture out on wax paper or counter top and continue to work the rest of sugar into cheese until you can work with it without sticking to your hands, will look like pie dough, will take about 2 pounds of sugar.
You can make many different candies with this mixture.
*CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRIES*
Drain cherries on paper towels for about 8 hours, changing paper a couple times in this period. Using a little powdered sugar to keep it from sticking to your hands, pinch off a small amount of dough and press flat in your hand, wrap this around cherry and set on wax paper to dry. After dry you will need to dip the bottom again as there will be a hole in the bottom. You can set them on the same paper to dry, store in a container and in about 7 days they will liquify inside, do not refrigerate during this time.
