Ok, Christmas is on my mind again this morning. Yes, I should be getting the concert parts together and blogging later, but blogging is so much fun!! For me anyway!!
Nothing will be cooking in the kitchen today, seeing as I am going out today!! :D Treat day!!! But, I am going to post another one of the recipes that I used to make at Christmas, but probably will not make them this year. This recipe I got from a lady I used to help out and houseclean for. I loved Christmas time, because she got me to help her make her recipes that she made, and so I got to learn new recipes!!! Who does not like getting paid for doing something so fun!! For her privacy, I will not name her with this recipe.
Cherry Surprises
1/2 cup firm margarine
1 and 1/2 cups icing sugar (confectioners sugar for my American friends and family)
1 and 1/2 cups medium flaked coconut
1/2 tsp vanilla (may also use almond or rum flavoring)
Graham cracker crumbs
Red and green maraschino cherries - quartered or halved
Mix first 4 ingredients together and roll into small balls. Roll ball in graham crumbs. Press thumb in middle - cracking the ball. Decorate with red or green maraschino cherry piece, placing cherry in depression.
Keep refrigerated, and store with wax paper between layers.
So easy and quick to make and they look like you
have spent a long time making them.
This is one batch. I make them small
because they are sweet.
Now do these not look tempting?
I put the cherry in the middle with the dough around it. The surprise is whether you get a red or a green cherry when you bite into one! Sandy
