Although I got this fudge to set correctly by boiling 5 minutes, the cherry flavor overwhelmed the chocolate. It was the pits for me! Much too sweet.

This turned out much better than I thought it would. I made it because my mom loves cherry cordial candies. I was very pleased. It is a little sticky. My husband liked it too. It wasn't "too sweet" as he complains that most fudge is.

While the fudge took quite a while to set, it was well worth the wait. This fudge was delicious!

I tried to submit my own recipe for Cherry Blossom Fudge two years ago with out success; guess I'll just rate this one. This is great fudge but this recipe is way off for butter. I use only 1T of butter and I also add 3T of the cherry juice when adding the choc. chips and CHOPPED cherries. Be sure the cherries are well drained. Boil for 5 minutes instead of four. You'll get great fudge with these notes.

I think the non-setting problem most often mentioned by other reviewers, is due to the huge amount of butter listed in ingredients. If you want to make cherry fudge, I suggest you use: Hershey's Rich Cocoa Fudge - this site and add quartered maraschino cherries.

I cooked the jello mixture longer as another reader suggested and the fudge set perfectly! Next time I will make it a little sweeter to my taste.

This is a very tasty fudge, however the directions need some help. To get this fudge to set: after you've added the gelatin , stir to blend. Reduce heat to a bubbling simmer. Do not stir again. Simmer until it reaches a soft ball stage (238°), this will take several minutes. (Trust me,I know your thinking it will burn but it won't, this is the way fudge was cooked before marshmallow creme). Remove from heat and continue with the recipe except beat until smooth before adding cherries (quartered not halved).

This tasted good, but I have to concur with the other reviewers who had problems with it not setting. This recipe didn't work for me.

It is a quick and easy recipe... BUT don't expect it to hold up outside of the fridge. It melted at room temperature and was a complete mess to cut. Delicious? Yes!!! but very messy!!

Followed the directions exactly and it came out terrible. It was not the consistency of fudge at all, it was softer and gooier. Would not make again-couldn't even serve it.

This fudge needed to be less cherry (although I LOVE cherry and thought the cherries inside were brilliant) and more chocolate. I suggest adjusting to you own taste before commiting.

I would leave out the cherry halves just because mine didn't hold together good with them in it. But the cherry taste the jello gives it is wonderfull!

I couldn't get this fudge to "set" properly. I tried it 3 times and all I got was goo. However, that goo tasted mighty good to me. I am not giving up completely with this recipe. It had an awesome flavor even though it didn't set. I will try again before the holidays to see if I can get it to set then.
