White Christmas Fudge

Line an 8 inch square pan with foil, grease foil.

Mix sugar and milk in a 3 quart saucepan over medium heat, add butter and stirring constantly, bring to a boil. Without stirring, boil for 5 minutes.

Over low heat, add chocolate and almond extract. Stir, then whisk until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth.

Stir in dried cherries and toasted almonds.

Pour mixture into pan. Refrigerate 2 hours until firm.

Invert pan, peel off foil and cut in 1 inch squares.

Tip: To toast almonds, spread in single layer on cookie sheet. Bake in 350 oven for 5-10 minutes, shaking pan occasionally until they begin to brown.

Very tasty and pretty.
