These are a great and fun recipe to make. I got the recipe courtesy of Recipe Zaar and tweaked it a bit to my own tastes. I have to give proper credit to Organicmama for steering me in the right direction.
Ingredients

- 1/4 cup butter shopping list
- 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk shopping list
- 1 teaspoon vanilla or 1/2 teaspoon almond extract shopping list
- 1 pinch salt shopping list
- 10 ounce jar of maraschino cherries, drained shopping list
- 12 ounce bag chocolate chips shopping list

- Scoop out about 1-2 teaspoon of filling and form into a ball, flatten it and form around a cherry.
