Ingredients:
Glace Cherries
Marzipan (almond paste)
Dark (bitter-sweet) Chocolate for dipping
Putting it together:
Wrap each glace cherry in a small amount of marzipan. Form into a ball.
Break or chop the chocolate in to small pieces and place in a bowl.
Gently melt the chocolate over a pan of hot water.
Dip the marzipan covered cherries using two forks. Put the chocolates
on baking paper to set.
Notes:
It is best to use Marzipan (almond paste) and not almond icing for these
sweets.
Tips for Working with Chocolate;
- chocolate is best melted gently in a bowl over a pan of hot water.
- be careful water doesn't get in to the chocolate or it will spoil.
- take great care not to over heat the chocolate or it will not set
well.
- if the chocolate gets too hot will need to temper it and this is
rather fiddly.
