Description

This decadent Chocolate Covered Cherry Fudge combines rich chocolate and white chocolate chips with smooth chocolate and cherry frostings, topped with juicy maraschino cherries for a delightful treat. Perfectly creamy and easy to make, this fudge is a festive dessert ideal for sharing or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mixture

  • 2 cups Chocolate Chips
  • 1 can Chocolate Frosting (16 ounces)
  • 22 Maraschino Cherries

White Chocolate Mixture

  • 2 cups White Chocolate Chips
  • 1 can Cherry Frosting (16 ounces)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Line a 9-inch square pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal of fudge.
  2. Separate Chocolates: Place the white chocolate chips in one medium bowl and the chocolate chips in another medium bowl for melting.
  3. Microwave Chocolates: Microwave each bowl for 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until each type of chocolate is melted to a smooth, creamy consistency.
  4. Heat Frostings: Remove lids and foil from the frosting containers and microwave each for 45 seconds to make them easier to incorporate.
  5. Mix Frostings with Chocolate: Add the chocolate frosting to the melted chocolate chips and cherry frosting to the melted white chocolate chips. Stir each vigorously to combine thoroughly.
  6. Layer Mixtures: Alternate pouring spoonfuls of each mixture into the prepared pan to create a marbled effect.
  7. Settle Mixture: Gently shake the pan to help the mixtures settle evenly and blend slightly for a swirled look.
  8. Prepare Cherries: Place maraschino cherries on a paper towel, cover with another paper towel, and press lightly to remove excess juice to prevent sogginess.
  9. Add Cherries: Randomly place the drained cherries on top of the fudge mixture, pressing them in gently.
  10. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the pan for 3 hours or until the fudge is fully set and firm to the touch.
  11. Slice and Serve: Remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper, slice into 1-inch squares, and enjoy your indulgent treat.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper for easy removal of fudge from the pan.
  • Microwaving the frostings softens them for better mixing into melted chocolates.
  • Pressing cherries to drain juice avoids watery fudge and maintains texture.
  • For cleaner slices, wipe your knife between cuts.
  • Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
