How to Make Cherry Fudge Logs

  1. Place 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk in a medium saucepan.
  2. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. (About 5-7 minutes)
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup maraschino cherries, drained and chopped, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly.
  5. Divide the chocolate mixture in half. Place each portion onto a separate 20-inch piece of waxed paper.
  6. Shape each portion into a 12-inch log using your hands or a spatula.
  7. Press 1/2 cup chopped walnuts evenly onto the surface of each log.
  8. Wrap each log tightly in the waxed paper, twisting the ends to seal.
  9. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the logs are firm.
  10. Once firm, carefully remove the waxed paper from the logs.
  11. Using a sharp knife, cut each log into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  12. Store the fudge logs in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
