Ingredients: 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips. 1 can 14 ounces of sweetened condensed milk. 1/4 cup of unsalted butter. 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. 1 cup of chopped maraschino cherries well-drained. 1/2 cup of chopped almonds optional. A pinch of salt.
Instructions: Press parchment paper into an 8 x 8-inch square baking pan, allowing a small overhang for simple removal. Melt the unsalted butter, sweetened condensed milk, and semi-sweet chocolate chips in a medium saucepan over low heat. Until the mixture is smooth and well combined, stir continuously. After taking the saucepan off of the burner, add the vanilla extract and a small pinch of salt. If desired, mix in the chopped almonds and maraschino cherries. Evenly spread the fudge mixture in the baking pan that has been prepared. Refrigerate the fudge for a minimum of two hours, or until it solidifies and becomes firm. When the fudge is set, remove it from the pan by using the overhanging parchment paper. Transfer to a chopping board and thinly slice into square pieces.
