Zubereitung von Cherry Candy
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped candied cherries.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls.
- Place the balls onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the candies cool completely on a wire rack.
- **Chocolate Topping:** Melt 12 ounces of your favorite semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each cooled candy ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Place a candied cherry half in the center of each chocolate-covered ball.
- Place the candies on wax paper to allow the chocolate to set completely.
- Once the chocolate is set, store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
