CHERRY MASH CANDY 
1 ;arge box vanilla frosting mix
1 can ready mixed cherry frosting mix
1 (6 oz.) jar maraschino cherries, drained and chopped fine
1 can Eagle brand condensed milk
2 pounds powder sugar
2 (12 oz) pkg semi-sweet chocolates chips
1 lb. chopped salted peanuts
1 bar paraffin wax

Mix vanilla frosting mix, cherry frosting mix, maraschino cherries, condensed milk and powdered sugar. Roll into very small balls and freeze.

Melt semi-sweet chips and paraffin together then add peanuts to chocolate mixture. Dip frozen balls into the chocolate mixture and place on wax paper to dry.

Hints: Use a bamboo skewer for dipping balls into chocolate. Also dust hands with powder sugar when rolling mixture into small balls - this helps mixture from sticking to your hands.

if you cant find ready made cherry frosting you could use vanilla frosting and add in 2 tsp cherry flavoring and a couple of drops red food color to make it pink.
