Serve: These fudge bars are best served chilled or at room temperature. They make an excellent addition to dessert platters and holiday treat boxes.
Storage: Store the fudge bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. You can also freeze them for longer storage — simply thaw before serving.
Variations:
Different Nuts: Swap walnuts for pecans, almonds, or pistachios for a different flavor profile.
Cherry Alternatives: Try dried cranberries or blueberries if you prefer a different fruity twist.
Dark Chocolate Option: Mix in a handful of dark chocolate chips along with the white chocolate for a rich, two-tone effect.
FAQ:
Q: Can I use fresh cherries instead of dried?
A: Dried cherries are best for this recipe because fresh cherries add too much moisture and can make the fudge soggy.
Q: How do I prevent the fudge from becoming grainy?
A: Melt the white chocolate slowly over low heat and stir constantly. Overheating white chocolate can cause it to seize and become grainy.
Q: Can I make these bars ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! They’re actually even better the next day once the flavors have melded.
Q: Is there a dairy-free version?
A: You can use dairy-free white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed coconut milk to create a dairy-free variation.
