By carvalhohm

This holiday treat is super easy to make! All you need is pantry ingredients, cream, and some candied cherries. Or leave them out for vanilla fudge!

Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup red and green candied cherries, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Coat 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.

In large saucepan, bring granulated sugar, butter, heavy cream, and salt to boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Allow to boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and slowly add confectioners' sugar and vanilla, stirring until smooth and well combined. Stir in cherries until evenly distributed.

Spoon into baking dish and chill 1 hour, or until firm. Cut into squares and serve, or store in an airtight container.

NOTE:
If you prefer, leave out candied cherries and you'll have a great vanilla fudge.
