• Butter:use salted butter to enhance the flavors, or add a dash of salt to the mixture if you only have unsalted butter.

Tips and Notes

• Double boiler.You can use a double boiler rather than the microwave to melt your ingredients together if you prefer, but it will take a little longer.
• Rubber Spatula.You’ll want a rubber spatula to scrape the bowl clean as you pour the mixture into the pan.
• Garnish.Press extra cranberries or nuts into the top of the fudge before chilling it for more flavor and a better presentation.
• Gifting your fudge.If you’re planning to gift your fudge for the holidays, I’d recommend lining a cute holiday tin, box, or bag with colorful tissue paper and then parchment paper before putting the fudge in it. This will keep the fudge freshest and also look great!

White Chocolate Cranberry Fudge Recipe Variations

• Add-ins.Add in some white chocolate chips, sprinkles (festive ones for Christmas time!), or even some orange zest. They’ll add more flavor, texture, and color, or match your special occasion!
• Try other flavor combinations.Make your own flavor of fudge to satisfy your sweet tooth. Simply change the kind of chocolate, dried fruit, and nuts you use in it. Try milk chocolate with raisins and peanuts, or dark chocolate with dried cherries and chopped almonds!
