Would like to try this recipe but have too many questions that need to be answered first. 1. Amount of Maraschino Cherries 2. Questions about the paraffin wax (as from Chef #683416) 3. Weight of Semisweet chocolate bar 4. Size package of chocolate chips. This sounds good...just need more info.

This is just an observation. When I buy paraffin it comes in a package of 4 slabs in a (1 pound butter) size block. When I put paraffin in a chocolate dipping mixture I only use 2-3 teaspoons of paraffin. to 12 oz of chips. chocolate chips come in several sizes:6, 12 and 16 oz size. Which one does it call for? I love cherry and chocolate and coconut.....but will wait till the recipe is fixed or rated. Hope my suggestions will help anyone who does.
