BLACK FOREST FUDGE



Black Forest Fudge image

The candy gets its name from the popular German cake flavored with chocolate and cherries. Place the fudge in paper candy cups and present it in pretty boxes tied with silk ribbon and holly sprigs. From Bon Appetit The Christmas Season. I noticed that several of the reviews had a little trouble with it setting up properly and said that they would make it in a 9x9-inch pan rather than a loaf pan. Times do not include chilling time.
