Chocolate Cherry Fudge

 It's time for the January Pin Challenge! The purpose of the Pinterest Challenge is to motivate us to not just pin, but to make it happen! This month's challenge is all about Valentine's Day Dessert Recipes. My recipe was inspired by this pin from Shugary Sweets.  Doesn't it look delicious?

I decided to go a bit of a different route, and make it a lot easier to make. It takes just four ingredients to make this delicious recipe! 

The secret is using pre-made frosting.  This is what adds the flavor.  Then mixing in white chocolate almond bark gives the fudge its body.  I like it because while it is sweet, it is not overly rich, to my way of thinking!

To reduce clean-up, I microwave the icing in its container, then pour it into the melted almond bark.  It only takes about 45 seconds to melt the icing, then a about 90 seconds for the almond bark.  Combine the two and pour into a prepared loaf pan.
