Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 egg white
1 tsp. vanilla
1 pinch salt
Lots of powdered sugar
2 jars Maraschino cherries (drained, then
2 squares bitter chocolate
12 oz. chocolate chips
4 T. melted paraffin

Cherries: It is easier to handle the cherries if they are frozen
first, but not necessary. Beat the egg white until fluffy. Add
vanilla, salt and enough powdered sugar to make a stiff dough. Beat
with mixer until very stiff. Knead like bread dough. Wrap the
cherries with sugar mixture and put on buttered wax paper over a cookie
sheet. Chill or, better yet, put in freezer.

Chocolate Dip: Melt bitter chocolate and chocolate chips over hot
water in double boiler. Add paraffin. Keep dip over hot water while
dipping. Dip cherries. The stems can be left on for a handle or use a
toothpick. Let drain and eat them.
