Desserts - Candy, ChocolateSPIRITED CHOCOLATES
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
2 tablespoons plus 1 tsp Kirsch (or Chambord)
2 1/2 to 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
2 packages (12-oz each) semisweet chocolate morsels
Combine butter and liqueur; blend well. Stir in enough powdered sugar to make mixture the consistency of craft dough, kneading as necessary. Shape mixture into 4 dozen balls. Chill.
Place chocolate in top of a double boiler; bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cook until chocolate melts. Let chocolate stand over hot water as you mold chocolates.
Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon melted chocolate into each plastic mold intended for chocolate-covered cherries*. Spread chocolate to cover sides of mold using the back of a small spoon. Freeze about 10 minutes or until firm.
Place one fondant ball in each mold; spoon in additional chocolate to fill molds. Chill until firm.
Invert plastic molds, and gently tap to release candy. Store in the refrigerator.
*NOTE: Candy mixture may also be dropped in melted chocolate if chocolate-covered cherry molds are unavailable.
