1/2 cup coarsely chopped Maraschino or red candied cherries, well drained
1 tsp. almond extract
Directions
Lightly grease a 9-inch round or square pan (I use a square baking pan). Line with wax paper; set aside. In a heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt the confectioners' sugar with the condensed milk; remove from heat and stir in nuts, cherries and extract. Spread evenly in prepared pan. Chill 2 hours or until firm. Remove from pan; peel wax paper off. Garnish as desired. Store loosely covered in refrigerator. Makes 16 pieces
I make both variations of this recipe so everyone has a choice.
I'm not Connie but I think I get it so I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in. Yes, she means powdered sugar. And she fixes it 2 ways. 1 way is with powdered sugar, no chocolate; the other is with chocolate, no powdered sugar. Sounds yummy to me!

Your directions do not mention the semisweet chocolate chips.
Do you add the 1 1/2 lbs. of confectioners sugar along with the semisweet chocolate chips?
