Cherry Fudge with Dark Chocolate

by aimee @ shugarysweets on February 10, 2012

It’s been awhile since I made fudge. And this version was worth the wait! You can whip up a batch of this just in time for Valentine’s Day.

Or just because tomorrow!

The smooth cherry fudge with chunks of dried cherries is so addictive, and topped with dark chocolate? Talk about one perfect bite!

Not in the mood for cherry fudge? Then you must go visit some of my blog friends who are posting fudge today too! Try to stop over at each of their blogs to say hello! Love these ladies….

Your pictures were so beautiful I just had to try this recipe … fudge is something new for me and the only problem I had was the dark chocolate topping needed to be melted with butter or something to soften it for when it set. It was very hard vs the cherry fudge, it cracked and broke when I cut it. But we enjoyed it anyway …
