Triple-Chocolate Sour Cherry Fudge

Triple-Chocolate Sour Cherry Fudge

really easy absolutely decadent

Makes about 60 pieces

Milk chocolate, semisweet chocolate and chocolate hazelnut spread flavor this decadent sweet and sour treat. Fudge holds up well when wrapped tightly and kept refrigerated, so make this a few days in advance.

Ingredients

1-1/4 Cups Milk chocolate chips

1/2 Cup plus 2 Tbsp evaporated milk

1/4 Cup chocolate hazelnut spread (in jars found in the peanut butter/jam section)

1 tsp vanilla extract or the real vanilla is best

1/4 tsp fine salt or sea salt

1 - 12 ounce bag semisweet chocolate chips

1-1/2 Cups dried sour cherries

3/4 Cup roughly chopped pecans, toasted

Method

Line an 8 x 8 in glass (preferred) pan/dish with foil, set aside

Put milk chocolate chips, evaporated milk, chocolate hazelnut spread, vanilla, salt and semisweet chocolate chips into a medium pot and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth, about 5 minutes (a double boiler works even better.)

Stir in cherries and pecans, ten transfer mixture to prepared pan/dish. Shake and tap dish gently on the countertop to remove any air bubbles from the fudge, then smooth out the top.

Chill in the refrigerator, slip out of the pan/dish put on a cutting board and cut into pieces.
