Very yummy. The lychees look a lot like very pale penis tips, so I
felt a little weird stuffing ginger inside of them, but it was all
worth it. This is a great dessert.

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 15 ounce cans lychees
2 ounces crystallized ginger -- or candied cherries
8 ounces semisweet chocolate
1/3 bar paraffin wax

Drain lychees. Place round side up on several layers of paper towels.
Let stand until dry, about one hour.

Cut ginger into slivers or tiny pieces. Carefully stuff the ginger
inside the cavities of the lychees.

Combine chocolate and wax in a small saucepan or in top of a double
boiler over boiling water. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly.
When chocolate is completely melted, remove from heat and cool
slightly.

Dip each stuffed lychee in the melted chocolate, being sure to coat
completely. Carefully lift the lychees out of the chocolate and
place, round side up, on waxed paper.

Refrigerate until cold. Transfer into bonbon cups for serving.
