Chocolate Cherry Nut Fudge image

This is a favorite around the Holidays. I'm not sure where the recipe came from - off of the can of sweetened condensed milk or the chocolate chips (for the basic Fudge). I just know it is so easy to make! And the addition of the cherries and nuts makes it oh so delicious!

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 can(s) sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
dash of salt
1 c pecans, chopped
1 tsp almond extract
1/2 c maraschino cherries, drained well and chopped
note: important...you want to drain off as much juice as possible. placing the cherries on paper towels helps to pull out more juice.

Steps:

  • 1. Line an 8 or 9 onch square pan with aluminum foil. This makes it easier to take the fudge out of the pan.
  • 2. In a large glass bowl combine chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk and salt. Microwave on high 2-3 minutes. (Check after 2 minutes)
  • 3. Quickly stir in nuts, almond extract and cherries.
  • 4. Spoon immediately into foil lined pan and chill 2 hours or until set.
  • 5. Remove from pan, peel foil off and cut into pieces. Store in the refrigerator.
