Melt candy coating.  Pour melted candy coating into
a squeeze bottle.  Paint details with candy writer if
desired.  Allow to set up at room temperature.  Squeeze
the candy from the squeeze bottle into a painted  mold
cavity starting at the top rim, making sure the entire
cavity (especially the sides) is covered with the coating.
Continue filling all the molds this way.  Turn the mold
over and dump the excess candy onto waxed paper.
Excess candy may be remelted.  Invert the mold and use
a spatula to scrape all excess candy off the surface of the
mold until the top rim of the cavities appears neat.  Let
candy set up at room temperature.  Mix up one package
of dry fondant (76-5501) according to package directions.
Line mold.  Place a maraschino cherry into each lined
cavity.  Put a small amount of the fondant around the
cherry.  *Note-The fondant should liquefy in a few days.
With melted coating in squeeze bottle squeeze candy
over filling starting at the outer edge of cavity to insure
proper sealing.  Place in freezer.  When the mold is cloudy
and the candy feels cold, invert the mold and the candy
will drop from the mold.
