The New Orleans Fudge

i have never had this. It looks terribly delicious! I'm willing to try my luck at it because i have nothing to lose except a tooth or two, maybe a mouthful? Who cares! This is the recipe... i want to find a pic, or maybe take my own once this is ready to serve. If anyone tries it out, please let me know the outcome! Merci!

Makes 2 lbs. & has a 1 hr. Chill Time...

1/4 cup of butter or margarine
2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces folks!)
1 teaspoon almond extract
a Pinch of salt
1/3 cup of diced candied cherries
1/3 cup of ground pecans
2 tablespoons of chopped golden raisins

1. Lightly grease yourself an 8inch square pan. Usually these pans are more like rectangles, but this is baking... not geometry, right?

2. In the top of a 2ble boiler, over simmering water melt the butter/margarine & the chocolate chips until the are smooth. Please, remember to be careful. There is water. There is melting butter which more often than not rises in a light little splash of sorts, which can be too hot for comfort.

3. Remove from the heat & stir in the condensed milk, almond extract, & the salt until smooth, as well.

4. Blend in the cherries, pecans & raisins. Now scrape into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Let this chill for an hour - or until firm.

5. Cut into squares & enjoy!

Please let me know how successful you are! Cooking - Cuisine - is a very important part of my life, & i hope in every one's enjoyment, as well! Merci!
