Wonderfully delicious and rich with the cherries really enhancing the fudge! It was definitely a hit for Christmas 2 more days! I made this exactly according to the recipe. It was definitely very soft but I didn't think it was too bad. However, I'd still adjust the recipe to use more cocoa powder and marshmellow cream. I'd also try adding more coke and maybe even more cherries. As I said, it tasted amazing. The cherries really made it something special.
I listened to the other reviews and added an extra half a bag of vanilla extracts, so it wouldn't be too soft. Still turned out slightly softer than I like, will add whole bag next time. Tasted great, everyone loved it.
