Marshmallow Cherry Kisses

Prep Time: 15 min
Total Time: 40 min
Makes: 8 servings, 2 kisses each

1 pkg. (8 oz.) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate
16 maraschino cherries with stems
16 JET-PUFFED Marshmallows

MELT chocolate in small saucepan on low heat, stirring occasionally. Place in small bowl; cool slightly. Meanwhile, drain cherries and thoroughly pat dry.

MAKE indentation in each marshmallow with your finger, then insert 1 of the cherries into the hole, leaving 1/3 of the stem end of the cherry exposed. Using a fork to support the bottom of the marshmallow, dip the marshmallow into the chocolate, turning to evenly coat the cherry. Gently shake off excess chocolate.

PLACE on wax paper-covered baking sheet; cover. Refrigerate 20 to 30 minutes or until set. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.

Tips from Lizzy:

Size-Wise
Pair these treats with a warm drink, such as coffee or hot cocoa, on a winter night around the fire with friends and family.

How to Melt Chocolate in the Microwave
Place unwrapped squares of chocolate in microwavable bowl. Microwave on MEDIUM (50%) for 2 minutes (for 2 squares of chocolate) or until chocolate is partially melted. Remove from microwave; stir until chocolate is completely melted. When melting more than 2 squares of chocolate, add 10 seconds for each additional square of chocolate.
