Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 24 ounces (3 3/4 cups) white chocolate chips
- 14 ounces (1 can) sweetened condensed milk
- 6 ounces (1 1/4 cups) dried cranberries
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Optional Decoration:
- Sparkling sugar sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring excess paper hangs over the sides for easy removal.
- Combine white chocolate and condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl, heating for 1 minute. Stir until smooth, adding an additional 30 seconds of heating if chocolate hasn’t completely melted.
- Incorporate vanilla extract, dried cranberries, and salt into the melted chocolate mixture, stirring until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, using a spatula to create an even surface. Gently press holiday sprinkles into the top if desired.
- Allow the fudge to set at room temperature for 2-3 hours, or place in the refrigerator to accelerate firming process.
- Once completely set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into bite-sized squares using a sharp knife.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container, placing wax paper between layers to prevent sticking.
Notes
- Ensure parchment paper extends beyond pan edges for easy removal, preventing fudge from sticking.
- Use high-quality white chocolate for richer, smoother texture and more authentic flavor.
- For dairy-free version, substitute condensed milk with coconut cream and vegan white chocolate.
- Add festive touch by using seasonal sprinkles or chopped nuts for extra crunch and visual appeal.
