- Slice and Enjoy: Cut the fudge into squares, serve, and relish the delightful combination of creamy, fruity, and chocolatey goodness!
Notes
- Optional: Replace maraschino cherries with fresh pitted cherries for a less sweet option.
- Use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for a more intense chocolate flavor.
- Add a pinch of sea salt for a balance of sweet and savory.
