Number Of Ingredients 7

2 c sugar
2 Tbsp white syrup (or 1/8 tsp. cream of tartar)
1 1 /2 c boiling water
DIPPING CHOCOLATE
1 pkg 32oz ~ ghiradelli chocolate
4 ghiradelli chocolate squares, unsweetened

Cool until you can handle with hands. Knead until creamy, stiff and free from lumps. (It may appear to have sugared, continue to knead until smooth.)
  • 2. Store in refrigerator for 24 hours. Drain maraschino cherries, place small balls of fondant inside cherries. (Cherries with fondant will dip better if placed in freezer for a short time.)
  • 3. Melt dipping chocolate in double boiler along with the paraffin wax. Use fork to dip cherries in the chocolate, place on a waxed paper and cool until set.
  • 4. NOTE: Fondant can also be flavored with maple, lemon, or orange flavorings; roll in a ball and dipped in chocolate for nuggets.
