I agree Shannon, definitely try this fudge - very good. Reminds me somewhat of the old Chunky chocolate bars with the cranberries in it. Very easy to make and delicious. I did use one can of fat free sweetened condensed milk - helped with the calories and still tasted great. Thanks for posting. -
Shannon, you really need to try this as it is scrumptious. Decided to make this as a way to use all the chocolate, fruits and nuts left over from my holiday trays -- a bonus for some of my gift recipients. I think the cranberries truly make this special. I made mine with toasted almonds as I had no pecans. The fudge is rich and very thick, well over an inch high. I found that even after chilling for 2 1/2 hours, the center was still quite soft and would suggest 3 hours for chilling to make cutting easy. Thanks!

Hi! I live in BC, Canada. I am a mommy to Jacob and a wife to Rich. I love that I can stay at home and take care of our house and child, what a blessing! I enjoy cooking (ahem, tagging recipes), photography (usually family, food and scenery - the people on this website have taught me so much!), playing the trumpet, walking and apparently doing laundry - as I do it so often, I must enjoy it.
