This White Chocolate Cranberry Fudge is HEAVEN! I could easily coin this the best chocolate fudge ever, great for holiday baking and exchanges.
White Chocolate Cranberry Fudge
With only a week to go before Christmas, the pressure is on! Concerts, parties, shopping, wrapping, more shopping and wrapping – the list goes on and on.
So, what about your holiday baking? I sure hope the busy schedule didn’t hinder the chance to bake some goodies in the kitchen! Delicious priorities, people! While I love making my Star-Shaped Jam Cookies, I was in the mood for a new holiday treat.
Whether it’s for guests that pop by or just for us to enjoy after dinner {with a Christmas movie}, seasonal baking is great to have on hand. Yet, you don’t need to devote an entire day to slaving in the kitchen, thanks to some easy Christmas recipes like these AMAZING Eggnog Cookies.
Specifically, I very much wanted these the White Chocolate Fudge. *swoon*
When I went to the site to find a goodie to make on weekend afternoon, my eyes immediately went to this recipe. My heart belong to White Chocolate and I knew this recipe would be a hit.
Best of all, it’s so simple to make like my White Toffee Bark. I almost cringe calling it ‘baking’. Take a peek at the simplicity of this recipe.
This recipe is from Kraft Canada, yet I adapted it for the nuts being optional. Not only does my husband have a nut allergy, yet I know just how dangerous it can be to some and would rather not take the chance at guests reacting.
This is the part you’ll love, busy parents. Since this recipe from the start to putting it in the fridge to cool – took just 7 minutes.
I love that this recipe fits in so well with the busy schedule which is especially chaotic around the holidays.
But the taste? HEAVEN! I could easily coin this the best chocolate fudge ever {pause while I run to grab a square to enjoy}.
If you opt to only make one treat this holiday season, make these – they have become my new favourite! And while you have some leftover cranberries, make sure to make this Cranberry Eggnog Bread, it’s a perfect seasonal treat.
This recipe would even be a great one for a baking exchange {lucky recipients!} or as gifts to those you love and appreciate. In fact, I gave some to my delivery people last week. They sure were happy!
To complete the present and the look, print out gift tags and package up pretty for an exchange.
What baking do you look forward to most during the holidays?
