White Christmas Fudge

"The year I made this I made 3 batches and served it to company on a deep red platter surrounded by holly sprigs. It looked like something from a magazine. I might add that I made them separately to insure that the fudge came out right. I cut into 2 inch squares so that is the yield I listed."

  1. WOW! As I saw Loof's photo I couldn't resist!<br/>This is fast, delicious, beautiful, impressive and versatile recipe.<br/>I used the cranberry option and used rum as aroma. I skipped the butter as I know that the chocolate I use would be to fat and soft after this addition.<br/>It hardened only after several hours in the fridge (depends on the chocolate quality!), buf after this time it was easy to cut.<br/>Thanks a lot for this top recipe and Merry Christmas to you and your family!

  3. Tasty and beautiful holiday fudge! I used chopped candied fruit for the dried fruit and it added a festive color to the fudge. This is very sweet and rich, so I cut mine in 1" squares Great addition to holiday gift baskets - thanks for sharing the recipe!

  5. I made this last Christmas to give as gifts to my coworkers and as a pretty addition to the cookie trays I brought to family parties. Everyone loved it! I used dried unsweetened cranberries and chopped pistachios, which tasted heavenly and made for a truly gorgeous Christmas look. And it was so easy! This WILL be a staple of my holiday cooking. Thanks for sharing it!
