The recipe as is is alright ... I liked the ingredients but added to them from my knowledge of fudge making. I added another cup of sugar halved the butter and added cherry extract oil to enrich the flavor. The maraschino cherries are delicious ... better than using candied cherries I think. I also added a cup of marshmallows for color and texture. I love chocolate and cherry together. YUM!

This fudge set up fine for me. However be sure that once you stir in the gelatin you don't stir again until after it is done boiling. Also I boiled it for 5 minutes not 4. The texture of the fudge was great, but the cherry flavor and sweetness was overpowering.

I tried to make this & it did not turn our very good at all. It would stick to the pan & I felt could have been much better. Sorry but I was very disappointed.

This is a great recipe but just as a variation you can use regular knox gelatin and chopped nuts and have a yummy creamy rich chocolate fudge that everyone will love. (at least my family does) just follow the same directions otherwise...then eat.

Very good. Time consuming but worth the wait. I followed the advice on using the candy thermometer and not stirring. The texture was perfect!

Although I got this fudge to set correctly by boiling 5 minutes, the cherry flavor overwhelmed the chocolate. 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.
