Paradise and Pennant Candied Fruit

Chocolate Covered Cherry Fudge

What could possibly be better than chocolate-covered cherries? Turning that flavor combination into a home-made fudge. Chocolate, candied cherries, marshmallows, and a few other ingredients come together to make a creamy fudge with a cherry in every bite.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 2/3 cup evaporated milk
• 4 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups miniature marshmallows
• 12 oz bag milk chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped Paradise candied Cherries
• 1 teaspoon almond extract

Directions:

LINE 8-inch-square baking pan with foil. Butter foil. Set aside.

COMBINE sugar, evaporated milk, cherry juice, butter and salt in medium, heavy-duty saucepan.

Bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil, stirring constantly for 5 minutes.

Remove from heat. Vigorously stir in miniature marshmallows, chocolate chips, chopped dried cherries and almond extract. Spread into
prepared pan. Refrigerate overnight. Remove fudge from pan and remove foil. Cut into squares and enjoy.
