Chocolate cherries fondant. I use this inside the chocolate shell. It melts into a great liquid within 5 days. It is imperative to sift the powdered sugar.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 40 servings

  • 2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar

  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened

  • 3 tablespoons light corn syrup

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Sift confectioners' sugar several times into a bowl to eliminate all lumps.

  2. Beat butter, corn syrup, and salt with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the sifted confectioners' sugar until thoroughly incorporated.

  3. Turn fondant out onto a work surface generously dusted with confectioners' sugar. Knead until smooth and workable, 5 minutes; cut dough in half. Wrap each piece of dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.

Cook's Note:

To use, pinch off a small amount of fondant with confectioners' sugar-dusted fingers; flatten out and use to cover a maraschino cherry before dipping.
