Chocolate Covered Cherries
Delicious cake like cookie with cherries
covered in a fudge frosting.
|
|
This recipe we believe originated in a local
cooking competition in which the winners recipes were published in the
newspaper. An old clipping states that Mrs. Wiley submitted this
recipe which she had found on a bag of flour. Regardless, the origin,
these are always a part of Christmas. We always double or triple the
recipe. |
