Chocolate Covered Cherries - Simple Style
"These Cherries are great. They are made with Marshmallow creme instead of condensed milk. They are very easy to make - especially if you've never tried to make them before! My mother in law passed the recipe on to me and they are very rich - but very good! A perfect valentines day treat."

I love to cook. I used to hate it. That was before I became a stay - home mom. I made foods for me and my husband as newlyweds and I know he choked some of it down with a smile. He still jokes to this day about when I made spaghetti and I didn't heat the sauce up. I just poured it over the hot noodles thinking they would warm the sauce - not so! Cold dinner - ick! Well I've gotten a lot better and my ultimate goal is to be the best cook in my family.
I like to try new things and especially try to find recipes for foods that most people do not like.
