This cranberry walnut white fudge is the perfect treat for the holiday season. Packed with rich white chocolate your taste buds will be pleased.

It’s that time of year again to start whipping up all those Christmas treats. My mom is that person that cooks in the kitchen all day making sausage balls, fudge, and divinity and giving it away in little gift bags.

I’m sure people have a love/hate feelings for those bags of treats. They love the treats, but they also don’t want to be fat. It’s just so hard to say no when you know it tastes so good. Christmas calories shouldn’t count.

My favorite part of those goody bags have always been the fudge. As I have said before I’m not one for sweets, but some things do get me. White chocolate and fudge. Not big on just chocolate, but love fudge.

So if both of those things taste great why not combine them? I honestly can’t think of anything more wonderful than white chocolate fudge. But we can’t stop there. I mean you’ve gotta have some nuts in your fudge. And to make it better what about some fruit.

So that is it. Cranberry walnut white fudge. A little twist on a classic packed with a whole lot of flavor.

For this recipe I use both white chocolate chips and good quality white chocolate. I do this because the white chocolate bar has a stronger taste and isn’t as waxy. All you do is break up that bar in its squares and put in a plastic bag and use a mallet to break it up.

A food thermometer is a must for this. People say a candy thermometer, but my regular digital food thermometer is actual useable for a candy thermometer. Just add the sugar, butter, and evaporated milk in a big saucepan and melt over medium heat.

Once all the butter has melted turn your burner up to high and boil. You have to stir the mixture continuously. Once boiling turn the heat down and use your thermometer to watch when you mixture gets to 234 degrees. Once it does remove from heat.

Add all you white chocolate and mix really well until melted then add your marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract and mix well. Last add your dried cranberries and walnut and mix.

Pour the mixture in your foil lined pan and let it sit. I let mine sit for a few hour before pulling the foil out of the pan and cutting up the fudge. To get cleaner cuts I would pop the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Just cut in about inch squares and you are ready to serve.
