Ingredients
- 400 g 14oz white chocolate, chopped

- 100 g 3.5oz dried cherries, chopped

Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

- Serve the Cherry Bakewell Fudge at room temperature and enjoy the delicious combination of sweet white chocolate, tart cherries, and nutty almonds.
Notes
- Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
