How to Make Easy Cranberry Fudge

  • Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the surface.
  • In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter, stirring constantly until smooth and creamy, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, mix in vanilla extract and salt, and fold in most of the dried cranberries, reserving a handful for topping.
  • Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared dish, using a spatula to smooth the top evenly.
  • Sprinkle the reserved dried cranberries on top and press them gently into the fudge.
  • Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight, until firm.
  • Lift the fudge out using the parchment overhang, place on a cutting board, and cut into 1-inch squares.

Notes

Drizzle with melted dark chocolate for an extra touch of indulgence! Quality chocolate and constant stirring make a difference in texture and flavor.
