The greatest thing about this fudge recipe is that there are so many simple variations. Different fruit, different chocolate, different frosting. You can change it up however you’d like and all the variations are just as simple to make. And they are all delicious. My favorite variation on this recipe is to use white chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. You’ll get more of a vanilla cherry flavor that is so yummy!

How to make Cherry Chocolate Fudge

Prepare an 8X8 dish by buttering a piece of foil and pressing it into the pan.

In a glass bowl, melt the chocolate chips by microwaving in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This usually takes me 2-3 intervals. Make sure not to overcook the chocolate or it will start to seize up.

Stir in the frosting and the chopped cherries and mix until well combined. Pour into prepared pan and spread until even and smooth. Refrigerate for about an hour to set up and then slice into squares. Can store in the refrigerator or at room temperature.

CAN YOU FREEZE FUDGE?

Yes, after the candy has completely set, you can safely freeze it in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

HOW LONG IS HOMEMADE FUDGE GOOD FOR?

Normally, fudge can be good for up to 4 weeks if stored in an airtight container at room temperature. You can extend that up to 6-8 weeks if the fudge is stored in the refrigerator.

I have found that this fudge doesn’t last quite as long because of the cherries – if they aren’t dried really well, then the extra moisture can start making the fudge a little bit soggy after a few days. Mine never lasts very long, but I have stored it in the fridge with no problems for over a week.
