FUDGE BALLS (NO BAKE)
Wonderful little treats, great to take to potlucks (they travel well). I have made these without using the dried fruit, and just with raisins, and they are still wonderful, but even better with the dried fruit!

Steps:
- 1. In a medium saucepan, over low heat - melt chocolate in the milk.
- 2. Once melted add the confectioners' sugar and whisk until smooth. Fold in the cherries and nuts. Chill until cool enough to roll in balls, not so stiff that the coconut and nuts won't stick. You want them a little sticky.
- 3. Have nuts and coconut ready. I spread each on paper plates. I use about a 1 inch cookie scoop for the size of the balls. Roll into balls and roll in nuts or coconut or both. Chill well. When not eating, keep them chilled as well.
VELVEETA CHEESE FUDGE BALLS
I like to call these "White Trash Fudge Balls!" Using Velveeta to make fudge?!? These were inspired by Paula Deen, who made a version of this on Iron Chef. I was motivated to make them for a cookie exchange. There are endless possibilities for this fudge!!

- Melt cheese and butter over low heat, stirring occasionally.Remove from heat and add vanilla. (You may also add the chopped nuts here, or save them for a garnish, later.).
- Sift together sugar and cocoa in a large bowl. Add cheese mixture and stir until it becomes stiff. Use your hands to finish the mixing.
- Once fudge is completely mixed (add more powdered sugar, a little at a time, if needed), pinch small sections off and roll into balls. Set on wax paper-lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
- While chilling fudge balls, melt almond bark in double-boiler, over a low heat. If you have chosen to melt caramels, do so, as well, in a separate double-boiler.
- Place a skewer in each fudge ball. Then, dip into caramel, then almond bark, finally rolling in nuts. Or, use whatever combination you would like.
- These can be made a day or two before dipping--store in refrigerator. Enjoy!

ORANGE CORDIAL FUDGE BALLS
A nice gift for special occasions. I'm guessing at the number of fudge balls it yields; the truth is I'm probably somewhat inconsistent in the exact size I make the fudge balls because sometimes the recipe yields more than at other times. I've never melted the chocolate in the microwave instead of a double boiler but I suppose it's possible.

I got this recipe off the internet. It turned out looking so festive I just had to share! The only things I did different is I used fat free sweetened condensed milk. Also I used dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet and Imperial margarine instead of butter.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the fudge balls will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overcook the fudge. The fudge should be cooked until it reaches a temperature of 236°F (113°C). If it is cooked for too long, it will become grainy.
- Chill the fudge before rolling it into balls. This will help the fudge to set and make it easier to roll.
- Use a variety of toppings. Fudge balls can be topped with anything from chopped nuts to sprinkles. Get creative and have fun!
