Indulge in the delightful combination of sweet cherries and rich chocolate with this easy-to-make Cherry Chocolate Fudge. It's the perfect treat for any occasion, and you'll love the chewy texture and burst of cherry flavor in every bite.
Ingredients: 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips. 1 can 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk. 1/4 cup unsalted butter. 1 cup dried cherries, chopped. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/4 teaspoon almond extract optional. Pinch of salt.
Instructions: Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract, almond extract if using, and a pinch of salt. Fold in the chopped dried cherries until evenly distributed. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set. Once set, use the parchment paper overhangs to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut the fudge into squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy your Cherry Chocolate Fudge!
