Ingredients
- 2 cups Hershey's milk chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Dried cherries
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang on the sides for easy removal, and lightly grease with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan over low heat, combine the Hershey's milk chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Step 4
Fold in the dried cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 5
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Gently tap the dish on the countertop to remove any air bubbles and smooth out the surface.
Step 7
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm and set.
Step 8
Once the fudge has set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the dish and onto a cutting board.
Step 9
Cut the fudge into 16 squares using a sharp knife. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
