How to Make Merry Cherry Fudge
- Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- Thoroughly drain the maraschino cherries and gently blot them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips.
- Place the saucepan over very low heat. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and cherry juice until well combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped pecans.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Immediately press the drained maraschino cherries into the fudge, ensuring the top of each cherry and stem remain exposed.
- Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm.
- Once firm, cut the fudge into 36 squares.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
