Milk chocolate, semisweet chocolate and chocolate hazelnut spread flavor this decadent sweet and sour treat. Fudge holds up well when wrapped tightly and kept refrigerated, so make this a few days in advance, if needed.

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons evaporated milk
1/4 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 (12-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups dried sour cherries
3/4 cup roughly chopped pecans, toasted

Method

Line an 8- x 8-inch glass dish with foil; set aside.

Put milk chocolate chips, evaporated milk, chocolate hazelnut spread, vanilla, salt and semisweet chocolate chips into a medium pot and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth, about 5 minutes. Stir in cherries and pecans, then transfer mixture to prepared dish. Shake and tap dish gently on the countertop to remove any air bubbles from the fudge, then smooth out the top with the back of a spoon. Cover and chill until set, about 3 hours.

Loosen fudge from dish and turn out onto a cutting board; remove and discard foil. Using a serrated knife, cut fudge into pieces and serve.
