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!

Made 2 batches of this great tasting fudge to include in my Yuletide baskets, one batch with cranberries & the other one with apricots, & both were absolutely wonderful! Loved the color & the taste & will definitely make this great stuff again & again! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

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!
