Directions:
If using the maraschino cherries, drain them well, chop them, and then let them dry on paper towels on the counter for a few hours or overnight, so the syrup will not make the fudge runny.
For fudge, combine sugar, margarine and milk in a saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly (this could take 15 minutes or so). Boil for 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips to melt. Stir in marshmallow creme until well combined; add chopped nuts, cherries, and vanilla. Mix thoroughly.
Pour into a buttered (or aluminum foil lined) 9"x13" pan. Cool until set (a couple of hours or overnight - or put in fridge or freezer for an hour to speed up the process) and cut into squares to serve.
Does best when stored in the fridge; can be frozen, separated by layers of wax paper, and kept for a month or more. Thaw in fridge for 8-24 hours before serving (thawing on counter at room temperature can cause fudge to become too soft).
