Ingredients
Instructions
-
Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides. This will make it easier to lift the fudge out of the pan later.
-
In a medium saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk over low heat. Stir constantly until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Gently fold in the dried cherries and chopped pecans, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.
-
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
-
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
-
Once the fudge is set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and cut into small squares.
-
Store the Cherry Pecan Fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. If stacking the fudge, place wax paper between the layers to prevent sticking.
-
Enjoy the creamy, fruity, and nutty flavors of this Cherry Pecan Fudge as a delightful treat any time of the day!
