HOW TO MAKE MARTHA WASHINGTON CANDIES, IF YOU LIKED IT SAY HELLO
- 1 cup butter melted
- 1 lb powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 14 oz package shredded coconut sweetened
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 10 oz jar maraschino cherries drained and chopped
- 3 cups finely chopped pecans
- 16 oz package chocolate Candiquik
-
After chopping cherries, place on a paper towel so the liquid can be absorbed. Blot dry with additional paper towels.
-
Combine all ingredients except for Candiquik in a large bowl.
-
Refrigerate for at least two hours. Tip #1 – the colder the filling is the quicker the chocolate will set up
-
Form into balls about the size of a walnut or whatever size you prefer.
-
Refrigerate balls for 20 minutes. Tip #2 – See tip #1
-
Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Melt Candiquik according to package directions.
-
Dip balls into chocolate, tap off excess, and place on lined baking sheet to set up. Tip #3: Get off as much chocolate as you can otherwise it will pool at the bottom of the candy and you’ll have to trim it off.
-
Repeat until all balls are covered in chocolate.
-
Store in airtight container.
