With little-to-no plans this past weekend, I thought it would be a good time to start making some Valentine's Day treats. I always enjoy spreading the love around the office and leaving sweets in the kitchen for everyone to enjoy. Yesterday, for the sake of being festive, I made some cherry chocolate fudge.
Ingredients:
3 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
7 ounces marshmallow cream
1 package white chocolate chips
6 ounces chocolate chips
1 jar (12 oz) maraschino cherries (chopped)
red food coloring (if desired)
Line a 13-in. x 9-in. pan with foil and grease the foil with 1-1/2 teaspoons butter; set aside.
In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, cream and remaining the butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 4 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the white chips and marshmallow cream. Add the chopped cherries and red coloring (if desired) right before pouring into the prepared pan.
For chocolate topping: Melt chocolate chips in a double-boiler and spread over the the fudge. Swirl as desired with knife or toothpick. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm. Using foil, lift fudge out of pan. Discard foil; cut into 1-in. squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Yields: about 3 pounds.
Make sure to share with your loved ones!
