Slightly Boozy Chocolate Cherry Fudge

12/05/2019 by Erin 1 Comment

If Christmas cookies are the quintessential sweet treat of the holiday season, then fudge comes in at a very close second place.  Fudge with cherries and a lil’ bit of a boozy twist?  All the better.  This pan of slightly boozy chocolate cherry fudge will be a tasty addition to your holiday baking plans.

I don’t know why being in the kitchen making sweet things cheers me up so much, but especially this year, I can’t seem to stay away from my oven and spatulas, and I love sharing my recipes!

This fudge uses the quick cooking method of using mini marshmallows, so no worries if you don’t have a candy thermometer, you can make this without one!

The little bits of cherries (I used Paradise’s Red Cherries) add color and flavor and that teeny touch of boozy-ness makes this a special holiday fudge.  Enjoy!

Author: Erin Browne
Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 7 mins
Total time: 12 mins
Serves: 12-14 squares
Ingredients
  • ⅔ cup evaporated milk
  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 TBS butter
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 1 12oz bag (about 2 cups) of semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ⅔ cup candied red cherries, chopped (I used Paradise)
  • 2 TBS Kirsch, cherry liqueur, or brandy
Instructions
  1. Line an 8x8 square pan with foil or parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a saucepan, add the evaporated milk, sugar, butter, and salt. Bring to a full boil on medium-high heat, stirring constantly, and continue to boil for about 4 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the marshmallows, chocolate chips, candied cherries, and Kirsch, continue folding and stirring until everything is fully combined.
  4. Spread fudge into prepared pan and refrigerate until firm, several hours or overnight. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the foil or parchment, turn it over onto a cutting board and discard the paper/foil. Run a sharp knife under very hot water and slice fudge into squares, wiping the knife clean between each slice.
