This recipe was written on a lined index card and found in a large collection, date unknown. It’s marked “X Good” in the top right corner so it must be! I’ve typed it below along with a scanned copy (front side only).

Fondant – Melt over low heat:
3 T butter

I love your site and your collection! I would love to try to make some of those soon. Looking forward to seeing more!
to have the fondant become liquid ..store the chocolate covered cherries for 2-4 weeks and then gift and or eat!…letting them set is important for the candy to be the right consistency.
