White Chocolate Cherry Fudge
Ingredients:
– 1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherries, drained and patted dry
– 1/2 teaspoon almond extract optional
– 1/4 cup slivered almonds optional
– 3 cups white chocolate chips
– Red food coloring optional, for a festive swirl
– 1 can 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing an overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper with cooking spray.
2. Melt the Base: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the almond extract if desired.
3. Add the Cherries and Almonds: Gently fold in the chopped maraschino cherries and slivered almonds. For a festive twist, add a few drops of red food coloring and swirl it lightly through the mixture.
4. Set the Fudge: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until it becomes firm.
5. Slice and Serve: Once the fudge has set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into small squares and enjoy!
