How to Make Dark Chocolate Cherry Fudge
- Line an 8-inch square baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides to help lift the fudge out later.
- In a medium, heavy-duty saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Make sure the sugar is fully dissolved before bringing to a boil.
- Continue to boil, stirring constantly, for 4 to 5 minutes. Pay close attention to prevent burning.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Stir in 1 (10-ounce) package of marshmallows, 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate morsels, 1 cup dried cherries, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Stir vigorously for 1 minute, or until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is completely firm.
- Once firm, lift the fudge from the pan using the foil overhang.
- Carefully remove the foil.
- Cut the fudge into 48 pieces.
- Variation: For a delicious twist, substitute 3/4 cup of your favorite dried berry blend for the cherries.
