Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups milk chocolate morsels
  • 11 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup maraschino cherries
  • ½ cup nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans crushed)
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract

Instruction

  • Drain and chop maraschino cherries. It is crucial that these chopped cherries are patted dry as much as possible. Any extra liquid will make the fudge sticky. Use a paper towel to squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible; set aside.
  • In a large, microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate morsels and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave the mixture for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat the process in 15-second increments. Once creamy, mix in the extract, cherries, and nuts.
  • Spread the mixture into a parchment paper lined baking dish with a rubber spatula. Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours until solid.
  • Once solid, remove the parchment paper from the dish and slice the fudge into cubes.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
