-------- ------------ --------------------------------
    1      cup           butter
    2      cups          powdered sugar -- sifted
    4      squares       unsweetened chocolate -- melted
    4                    eggs
    1      teaspoon      peppermint extract
    2      teaspoons     vanilla
   18                    vanilla wafers
    1      cup           heavy cream -- whipped
                         maraschino cherries

Cream butter and sugar; blend in melted chocolate. Add eggs and beat well
after each egg. Add flavorings. Using 18 cupcake/muffin liners, put a
vanilla wafer in the bottom of each and then fill with chocolate mixture 3/4
full. Place a dollop of whipped cream on each and top with a cherry. Freeze
in muffin pans to retain shape. After the creams are frozen, they may be
stored in plastic bags. Serve frozen.
