REC - Chocolate Covered Cherries
 

For mock Butterfingers, just spread peanut butter between two Wheat Thins,
then dip in melted chocolate - the kind they sell in big chunks for candy
making. Place on waxed paper to set the chocolate. Embarrassingly easy.


Here are the cherries. You can't screw them up.
