Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 c semi sweet chocolate chips
1/3 c each - chopped nuts & chopped, maraschino cherries - drained well
1/3 c evaporated milk
1 1/2 c confectioners' sugar
flaked coconut & chopped nuts for rolling - i use both

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.

Chill the mixture before rolling: Chilling the mixture for at least 30 minutes will make it easier to handle and roll into balls. This will also help the fudge set properly.
Roll the balls in chopped nuts: After you've rolled the mixture into balls, roll them in chopped nuts. This will give them a nice crunchy coating and add extra flavor.
Use a variety of nuts: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of nuts. Walnuts, pecans, almonds, and hazelnuts are all great options.
Store the fudge nut balls in the refrigerator: Fudge nut balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
