Categories     Candy

Time 1h10m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 squares of chocolate Almond Bark
½ heaping cup crushed cocktail peanuts
2 Tbsp peanut butter
¼ cup butter, softened
1¾ cup powdered sugar
⅓ cup finely chopped maraschino cherries, patted dry as possible with a paper towel
2-3 tsp of maraschino cherry juice, only if absolutely needed
24 mini muffin paper liners

Steps:

  • First, line the mini muffin pan with paper liners. Set aside.
  • Then, line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Set aside.
  • Next, in a small bowl, combine softened butter and powdered sugar. Using a hand mixer, beat until it starts to stick together. It will be clumpy.
  • Add patted-dried, chopped maraschino cherries. Mix well. IF the mixture is still clumpy after adding the chopped cherries, add a half tsp of maraschino cherry juice and mix again. If needed, add another half teaspoon and so on. You do not want this to be the consistency of frosting. You want to keep it as thick as possible.
  • Using a tablespoon-size cookie scoop or small spoon, scoop cherry mixture onto lined cookie sheet an inch apart. Place in freezer for at least one hour.
  • Next, while cherry drops are freezing, follow the instructions on the package to melt Almond Bark in a microwave-safe bowl. Once melted, add crushed peanuts and peanut butter. Mix well.
  • Then, drop a small amount of the Almond Bark mixture into the bottom of each liner, just enough to cover the bottom of the liner.
  • Take cherry drops out of the freezer and break each one in half. (You only want the cherry centers to be about ½ Tbsp). Form the halved drops into a circular disk and place one on top of each Almond Bark mixture already in the pan.
  • Afterward, top each cherry drop with a spoonful of the Almond Bark mixture.
  • Allow to cool completely and set up before eating.
  • Can be stored at room temperature for up to 10 days.

CHERRY MASH BARS



Cherry Mash Bars image

This recipe makes delicious little fudge squares that would be excellent on a holiday cookie tray. They are SWEET but really flavorful. Perfect as small squares. If you like Chocolate and Cherries this recipe is for you. The candy bar was originally called Cherry Chase, and then Cherry Chaser, before becoming known as Cherry Mash. It can be found throughout the Midwest in most grocery and convenience stores and mass-merchandise outlets. I made them with pecans b/c I did not have peanuts and they were still delicious. I found the cherry chips at our Super Walmart next to the chocolate chips.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe cherries. This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your cherry mash.
  • Pit the cherries before using them. This can be done with a cherry pitter or by hand. If you're using a cherry pitter, be sure to remove the stems as well.
  • Use a food processor or blender to chop the cherries. This will make it easier to mix them with the other ingredients.
  • Add sugar to taste. The amount of sugar you add will depend on how sweet you like your cherry mash. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Let the cherry mash sit for at least 24 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the cherry mash chilled. This will make it more refreshing and enjoyable.

Conclusion:

Cherry mash is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be used as a topping for ice cream or yogurt, mixed into cocktails, or simply eaten on its own. With its sweet and tart flavor, cherry mash is a surefire hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have a batch of fresh cherries, don't forget to make some cherry mash!
