CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRY AMARETTO FUDGE

I just realized I've only shared two chocolate-y sweet treats with you so far this year {Chocolate Covered Oreo Cake and S'mores Cupcakes}.  Well, with Valentine's Day fast approaching, I think it's time to change that.  Don't you?

Enter Chocolate Covered Cherry Amaretto Fudge.
Yes my friends, modeled after my favorite Valentine's candy ... chocolate covered cherries ... it's chocolate and cherries and amaretto liqueur all rolled up into one rich and delicious fudge.

I'm not a huge fan of most of the pretty-much-pure-sugar Valentine's candies out there.  Like cinnamon red hots.  And  gum drop hearts.  And the-now-prevalent Valentine  candy corn.

And even the classic-of-all-classic Valentine candies, conversation hearts.  Nope, I don't even really like conversation hearts ... I'll only eat the yellow ones.  {Yes, I know it's bizarre.}
