Ingredient

• 200g chocolate
• 95g double cream
• 20g butter
• 50g glazed cherries, chopped
• 25g marshmallows, chopped
• 30g Fudge, chopped

For decoration (optional)

• Sprinkles
• Icing sugar
• Chopped nuts

Method

1. Melt the cream and sugar in a heat proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. When melted, remove from the heat and add the chocolate. Stir the chocolate in until it has melted.
2. Allow to cool a little, so the fudge won’t melt. While cooling chop the other ingredients, it is easier to use scissors instead of a knife for the marshmallows.
3. Mix the marshmallows, cherries and fudge into the chocolate and cream mixture.
4. Refrigerate until nearly set, then shape into small balls, roll in sprinkles or another topping to decorate, then leave the chill.
