Cherry Snowballs Candy

An incredibly simple recipe for those of us who are not gifted in the art of candy-making :) no cooking, just melting white chocolate - my sons and i will be making these to give as gifts this year.

Steps

Cut each cherry halfway through so you can spread it open.
Place a pea-size ball of marzipan inside each cherry.
Press halves together and set aside.
In a small microwavable bowl , melt 8 ounces white chocolate on medium power in the microwave for 30-second intervals until melted.
Stir well.
Dip cherries in melted chocolate.
Place on parchment paper to harden.
When chocolate has hardened , melt remaining white chocolate and dip cherries again.
Place on parchment paper to cool.
Before the chocolate actually sets and hardens , roll each candy in the coconut - then place back on the parchment paper and let harden for at least 1 hour.

Ingredients

maraschino cherries, marzipan, white chocolate, sweetened flaked coconut
