Directions:

The marzipan:
Prepare a frosting sugar by cooking sugar, water and vanila. Cook, in a heavy saucepan, uncovered, on a very low heat until the syrup becomes very thick and sticky. If you use a density meter it should read 37 to 38°C. Mix with almonds which have been ground to a very fine powder, on a marble surface. We obtain a white paste used in all recipes for 'petits fours'. also known as almond paste.
The cherries:
They can be fresh, brandied or sugared. Take the pips out. If they are too wet, roll them in some icing sugar to dry them.
The chocolate coating:
Melt white chocolate with water and keep warm in a double boiler. Divide the marzipan into small balls. Take one ball, shape it around one cherry. Skewer it on a tooth stick and dip it into the chocolate. Cool on wax paper.
