How to make chocolate-covered cherries

Gather all ingredients.

Drain cherries and set on paper towels to dry.

Stir together butter and corn syrup in a medium bowl until smooth.

Mix in confectioners’ sugar and knead to form a dough.

Wrap each cherry in about 1 teaspoon of dough. Chill in the refrigerator until firm.

Melt confectioners’ coating in a heavy saucepan over low heat.

Holding onto the stem, dip each cherry into the coating and place on waxed paper-lined sheet trays. Chill in the refrigerator until the coating is set. Store in an airtight container in a cool place.
