Ask and you shall receive:

2 boxes powdered sugar
1 can Eagle Brand milk
1 stick margarine
1 tsp vanilla
1 C finely chopped pecans
2 jars maraschino cherries
1-2 boxes semi-sweet chocolate baking squares
1 cake paraffin (Gulf Wax)

Mix sugar, butter, vanilla, nuts and enough Eagle Brand milk to have dough the right consistency to mold. Roll into small balls. Press hold in center. Insert cherry. Cover with dough. Continue until all dough is used. Melt 3/4 cake paraffin with 1 box chocolate. Dip each candy with a toothpick and set on wax paper to dry. (I usually go through them all once, and then dip them again. Then I dribble chocolate over the tops to cover the toothpick holes.)

Enjoy!

I didn't have time to request the recipe last night, but I'm thrilled you posted it! I love chocolate covered cherries! I'm going to try my hand at this on Monday! Thanks!
