Recipe Notes

I use Baker’s Premium White Chocolate for this recipe but any high quality chocolate or white chocolate chips will work .
It’s important to shift the powdered sugar to ensure that there are no sugar lumps in the finished fudge.
If your candied cherries have some liquid on them blot them with a paper towel before chopping them.
Candied (or glace) cherries are not the same as maraschino cherries. I have not tried maraschino cherries for this recipe and don’t think they would work well.
This fudge must be kept in the refrigerator, it will get very soft if it is left out at room temperature. Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator this fudge will last for about 2 weeks.
I cut this batch of fudge into 16 equal squares, you may want to cut them smaller.
