Default Christmas shopping, anyone?

The chocolate covered cherries quest is about figured out. I found that Old
Vermont carries one brand, there's Mc-something or other and Queen Anne. To
my way of thinking, the easiest solution will be to buy a box of each and do
some taste testing. I'm going to need some help. Anyone? Polly

"Leslie & The Furbabies in MO." wrote in message Polly, when I couldn't
find 'specially good quality caramels for our
Pat on her Green I learned how to make them. Have you tried making
chocolate covered cherries? I bet they would be as fantastic as my
caramels!
