My not-so-secret method for the perfect fudge.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 7 oz Marshmallow Crème
  • 5 oz Evaporated Milk – small can
  • 4 Tbls Butter
  • 12 oz Extra Dark Chocolate Chips (I use Guittard brand)
  • ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Cup Dried Tart Cherries
  • ½ Cups White Chocolate Chips, add a few drops or more of juice from Maraschino
  • Cherry juice (for drizzle)

Directions

  1. Line an 8×8 or 9×9 pan with foil and butter bottom and sides of pan
  2. Combine Sugar, Evaporated Milk, and Butter in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a light boil, add marshmallow crème and continue to cook til marshmallow has melted.
  3. Cook over medium heat and continue to keep stirring constantly for about 5 minutes more
  4. Remove from heat, stir in chocolate chips and vanilla and stir til smooth
  5. Once chocolate chips have all melted and is smooth, fold in dried cherries, stir til evenly dispersed. Pour Fudge mixture into foil butter lined pan.
  6. Set aside til firm – for at least a couple of hours but best to sit over night. Putting fudge in the refrigerator will help it set faster but not necessary.
  7. Melt White Chocolate Chips and add a few drops of juice from maraschino cherries and mix
  8. Drizzle ‘red’ White Chocolate sauce over fudge.
  9. Let drizzle set before removing fudge from foil lined pan.
  10. Cut fudge into desire size pieces and serve on platter
