Fruity Fudge Balls
These rich little balls of fudgy heaven can be made in a huge variety of flavors–I made strawberry, rolled in chopped nuts, and Morello Cherry, rolled in confectioners sugar– by swapping semisweet, milk, or white chocolate, and using whatever flavor of preserves you like.
The recipe is from Southern Living Christmas Cookbook, circa 2013.
