I also saw this in the SL Christmas 2000 book. This was so good, very easy to make and festive-looking. Note about the cherries: The first time I made this I used a 10 ounce jar of cherries that had 35 cherries with stems and 4 without. The second time I made it, the 10 ounce jar (same brand) had only 27 cherries, so I had to run to store and buy more. -
Made for PAC, Spring 2007 ~ Now this is really an unusual way to make [AND to serve!] fudge! OUTSTANDING in preparation, in presentation & in taste! This is definitely a keeper! Thanks!

I am a school psychologist and enjoy cooking, traveling, dancing, sports and music. Recently, I have remarried and moved to New Jersey. Like many of the mothers on Recipezaar, I have two precious boys, a 7-year-old and I have just given birth to my second son.
I love to try all kinds of food, particularly from other countries, because for that nationality, that food is the most delicious for them. After moving to New Jersey, I have had the wonderful opportunity to try food from all over the world, especially authentic Italian-yummy! Cooking is one of the most wonderful things that a person can do. My son loves to mix and help in the kitchen; it brings everyone joy when he is creating his masterpiece.
