Steps:
- 1. In a medium saucepan, over low heat - melt chocolate in the milk.
- 2. Once melted add the confectioners' sugar and whisk until smooth. Fold in the cherries and nuts. Chill until cool enough to roll in balls, not so stiff that the coconut and nuts won't stick. You want them a little sticky.
- 3. Have nuts and coconut ready. I spread each on paper plates. I use about a 1 inch cookie scoop for the size of the balls. Roll into balls and roll in nuts or coconut or both. Chill well. When not eating, keep them chilled as well.

CHOCOLATE CHERRY NUT FUDGE
This is a favorite around the Holidays. I'm not sure where the recipe came from - off of the can of sweetened condensed milk or the chocolate chips (for the basic Fudge). I just know it is so easy to make! And the addition of the cherries and nuts makes it oh so delicious!

Tips:
- To make the fudge extra creamy, use a mixture of heavy cream and milk.
- If you want a richer fudge, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test to check the doneness of the fudge. Drop a small amount of the fudge into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, the fudge is done.
- For a nut-free fudge, omit the walnuts or pecans.
- To make the fudge extra special, top it with a layer of melted chocolate or white chocolate.
