A delightful creation that combines the best of both worlds, featuring sweet cherries wrapped in rich chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup dried cherries
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Prepare an 8x8-inch square baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter over low heat. Stir frequently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt until well incorporated.
Gently fold in the dried cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the chocolate mixture.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing it out with a spatula to create an even layer. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.
