Ingredients:
3/4 cup finely chopped maraschino cherries (Dry between several paper towels for about 30 minutes)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons marshmallow cream
1 drop of pink food coloring
1/2 teaspoon cherry juice
Instructions:
Line your 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
Place the diced cherries on a plate and pat dry with a paper towel. Ensure to remove as much liquid as possible, reserving some on the side.
In a medium-sized saucepan, add the butter, sugar, cream, and salt.
Over medium-high heat, stir until the sugar and butter melt. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Immediately insert a candy thermometer. Continue to cook the fudge, stirring frequently.
Once the candy thermometer reaches 300°F, remove the pan from the heat.
Slowly add the white chocolate chips and the marshmallow cream. Stir until the chips and cream are melted and combined.
Stir in the pink food coloring and cherry juice.
Add the chopped cherries and stir to combine.
Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer.
Allow the fudge to set at room temperature for 3-4 hours.
Cut it into small 1-inch pieces prior to serving.
ENJOY!!
