Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 c semi sweet chocolate chips
1/3 c each - chopped nuts & chopped, maraschino cherries - drained well
1/3 c evaporated milk
1 1/2 c confectioners' sugar
flaked coconut & chopped nuts for rolling - i use both

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.

Cherry fudge balls were a hit at the office potluck. Will definitely be making these again for future events!

Overall these were good but there was something missing. I feel like there would be more flavor if I melted the chocolate and poured it over the balls instead of coating them. Will try that next time.

Not a huge fan of cherries but enjoyed them in this recipe. The flavor was subtle and complimented the other ingredients nicely.

Instead of butterscotch chips, I used semi-sweet chocolate chips. I also sprinkled some sea salt on top before serving and it added a nice touch.

Loved the variations provided at the bottom of the recipe. I made 2 batches using the two different nut options provided.

These fudge balls were a disappointment. They were too sweet and the cherry flavor was artificial. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

These are the best fudge balls I've ever had! The texture is perfect, chewy and fudgy, and the cherry flavor is amazing. I will definitely be making these again and again.

These fudge balls were a quick and easy treat to make with my kids. They loved helping me roll the balls and decorate them with sprinkles. They taste great too – not too sweet and a lovely cherry flavor.

Followed the recipe exactly and the balls turned out gooey, not firm like in the pictures.

Made these for a party and they were a hit. They are a perfect balance between sweet and nutty, with just a hint of tang from the cherries. Will be making again!
