Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cups marshmallow creme
pinch salt
1 tsp almond extract
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 jar (16 oz) maraschino cherries, well drained
2 cups (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

In a bowl, cream butter. Add marshmallow creme, salt, extract and sugar; mix well. Knead into a large ball; chill for 1 hour. Roll into 1-in. balls and flatten into 2-in. circles. Wrap circles around cherries and carefully shape into balls. Place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Cover loosely; refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Melt chocolate chips and shortening in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl. Dip cherries in chocolate; place on waxed paper to harden. Refrigerate in a covered container 1-2 weeks before serving.
