Ingredients for Cranberry Fudge
2 cups of white chocolate chips (can use generic white chocolate chips)
1 cup of sweetened condensed milk
1 cup of dried cranberries (Craisins)
*keep in mind that for the images shown here, this recipe was doubled and made in a 9×9 square baking pan.
How to Make Cranberry Fudge
Line a square baking dish with parchment paper.
*have your lined pan ready before the chocolate melts in the microwave
In a large microwavable bowl, heat the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk for one minute. Stir and then heat in 30 second intervals, stirring each time after until it’s completely melted and smooth.
Add the dried cranberries and stir until completely mixed. Pour the mixture into the prepared square pan and use a spatula to spread smooth.
Refrigerate for 4-6 hours until firm.
Once firm, you’ll want to cut up your pieces of fudge into squares.
Store this sweet treat in an airtight container. If you are using for gifts for the holiday season, you can find cute containers or plates and then cover with plastic wrap. This creamy white chocolate fudge will do ok at room temperature, but I like to store ours in the fridge just to be safe.
Variations for this Easy Homemade White Fudge Recipe
For a taste variation, you can add a tiny amount of vanilla extract.
For a savory flavor change, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the fudge.
This is such a beautiful recipe, it’s the perfect treat for holiday gift giving or bake sales. Add colorful sprinkles to make this easy homemade fudge even more festive!

I think this recipe would also be good using dark chocolate chips and dried cherries.
