Chocolate Cherry Hazelnut Fudge

Today I’m sharing a great holiday treat, Chocolate Cherry Hazelnut Fudge! Chocolate fudge with dried cherries and just a hint of hazelnut flavor makes a great gift, or keep it all for yourself, I won’t tell.

Welcome to Christmas Week, a multi-blogger event co-hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Jen from Juanita’s Cocina! Each day we will be celebrating the holidays with a different set of Christmas-themed treats, as well as a fabulous Christmas giveaway. We hope you enjoy this fabulous event. Tune in each day starting today, Monday, December 9th and ending Saturday, December 14th.

I’m going to share two fudge recipes with you all this week, starting with this Chocolate Cherry Hazelnut Fudge! Just look at it, you know you want to shove it all in your mouth right now!!!! I mean, take little nibbles, that would be much more socially acceptable, right?

I love fudge, and learned to make it years ago when I got tired of waiting for the one or two times a year my grandmother would go on a day trip to Atlantic City and bring some home for me. I have no idea why we only got fudge from Atlantic City, did no one around here sell it? Anyway, it’s really easy to make a fudge like a chocolate hazelnut fudge, and not hard at all to add dried cherries to it.

It looks fabulous, doesn’t it? So I’m going to give you the recipe for this great gift Chocolate Cherry Hazelnut Fudge first, and finally let you see all the other recipes everyone made!!
