Steps:
- Drain the maraschino cherries, reserving 2 tablespoons of the liquid. Place the cherries back in the jar and pour the Kirschwasser over the cherries. Close the jar and set it aside for at least 12 hours, or overnight.
- Have a food processor set up near the stove. Combine the sugar, reserved maraschino cherry liquid, water and corn syrup in a saucepan. Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat. Do not stir the syrup once it begins to boil. Reduce the heat to medium high. Dip a pastry brush in water to clean any splatters from the inside of the pan. Place a candy or probe thermometer into the syrup and boil until the temperature reaches 240°F.
- Remove the pot from the heat and immediately pour the syrup into the food processor. Rinse the thermometer to remove any sugar crystals and set the thermometer into the syrup. Do not disturb the syrup as it cools.
- Allow the syrup to cool to 120°F. Remove the thermometer. Process the syrup for 3-4 minutes until it thickens and becomes opaque.
- Pour the fondant into a microwave safe container. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of water over the fondant to cover the surface. This will prevent it from forming a crust. Cover the container and set aside for several hours or overnight.
- Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat. Drain the cherries and blot them dry with paper towels.
- Warm the fondant in 20 second increments until it is a little warmer than body temperature and loosens up enough to thickly coat the back of a spoon. Don't let the fondant get warmer than 160°F or you'll loose the crystals.
- Use the stem to lift a cherry and dip it into the fondant, covering the cherry up to the stem. Hold the cherry over the bowl to allow the excess fondant to drip back into the bowl. Set the cherry onto one of the lined sheet pans. Continue dipping all the cherries. You may need to rewarm the fondant if it becomes too thick to dip. You can sprinkle a few drops of water to loosen up the fondant if needed. Don't add too much water or the fondant won't stick to the cherries. Set the cherries aside to dry while you temper the chocolate. Visit this post to see how to temper chocolate.
- Lift a cherry by the stem and dip it into the chocolate, covering all the fondant and going a little up the base of the stem. Hold the cherry over the bowl to allow the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Set the cherry onto the other lined sheet pan. Continue dipping all the cherries. Allow the chocolate set completely before packing the cherries into a covered container. Store at room temperature. The fondant layer needs a couple of days to melt and become the cordial syrup. Wait at least 2 days before serving
CHERRY CORDIALS
This Christmas, skip the boxed chocolate-covered cherries sitting on store shelves. The taste of these homemade confections just can't be beat. Plus, they're a snap to make with only three basic ingredients-you simply soak the cherries in brandy, melt the chocolates and dip!-Dorothy Bayard, Hubertus, Wisconsin

Steps:
- Pretreat the silicone molds to create eyeball design: Melt 1/2 cup of the white chocolate over a double boiler. When the chocolate is completely melted, divide into three small containers. Mix each container with one of the oil-based colors so you have one black, one blue and one green. With a paintbrush, first paint the pupil with black into the center of a clean silicone mold. Next, paint the iris using either the blue or green chocolate. Place in the freezer until ready to use.
- To complete the cherry cordials, put the Fondant into a medium saucepan and bring to a thick syrup consistency.
- Strain and dry the Marinated Cherries. With a toothpick, dip the cherries into the fondant and place on a cooling rack to dry completely. Remove the silicone mold pretreated with the colored chocolate from the freezer and reserve. Meanwhile, melt the remaining white chocolate over a double boiler.
- When the chocolate is completely melted, dip the cherries into the chocolate one at a time. Place the cherries in the pretreated silicone mold. Place in the freezer to set up for 5 minutes. Remove the silicone mold from the freezer and turn out onto desired platter. Feel free to garnish with a variety of fingers, ears and brains to make for the perfect Halloween treat!
- In a medium saucepan, add the sugar and milk. Make sure all of the sugar is wet before beginning to cook the sugar. Start to cook the sugar and milk mixture over high heat. When the sugar is melted and it begins to look like syrup, add the butter to the mixture. Stir until the syrup is completely formed and the sugar has completely dissolved. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil add the cream of tartar; keep stirring constantly. Keep cooking until the mixture thickens and holds a line drawn with a wooden spoon down the bottom of the saucepan. Turn the sugar mixture out onto a marble slab or stainless steel table. With a putty knife and large spatula, quickly spread and gather the mixture until it reaches a light white shade and holds its shape for about 3 seconds. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
- In a small container, combine the cherries and brandy. Allow the cherries to marinate in the fridge for 1 to 3 days.

- In a large bowl, mix the butter, corn syrup, salt, and powdered sugar until fully incorporated. Then knead until completely smooth. If the dough is too soft, place it in the refrigerator to chill for a bit.
- Flatten a slightly mounded teaspoon of dough into a circle and shape it around each cherry. If you have very large cherries, you will probably need to use a bit more dough.
- Place dough wrapped cherries on a wax paper covered cookie sheet. Chill for at least a few hours or overnight.
- Drain cherries and place them on a paper towel lined platter to dry. Patsy always uses the cherries without stems. I experimented with both stemmed and stemless. The stemmed cherries take just a tiny bit more time to wrap with the dough, but a bit less time to dip in the chocolate. And they definitely have a different look, making for a really fun presentation. But I decided to make most of mine without the stem, mostly because I knew they would be easier for me to store.
