How to make chocolate covered cherries:

Cover cookie sheet with wax paper; set aside. Thoroughly cream butter, sugar and milk in small mixing bowl; blend in vanilla and almond extracts. Chill for 1/2 hour. Mold just enough mixture around each cherry to completely cover cherry. Place on prepared cookie sheet. Cover loosely; chill 3 to 4 hours or overnight.

Melt almond bark in microwave according to package directions. Poke a toothpick into each center and dip in melted chocolate. When chocolate has hardened, remove toothpick and fill hole with chocolate. Store coated cherries uncovered at room temperature for about 1 week or until centers liquefy. (Mine have never lasted long enough for the centers to liquefy!)Brandied Cherries: Remove juice from cherries, replace with brandy and store for at least one week. Drain juice before using.
