Ingredients
3 cups white chocolate chips
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup dried cranberries (divided)
Instructions
1. Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease with butter or nonstick spray.
2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir constantly until smooth.
3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, salt, and most of the dried cranberries (save a handful for topping).
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
5. Sprinkle the reserved cranberries over the top, pressing them in lightly.
6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or until fully set.
7. Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper and cut into 1-inch squares. Wipe your knife between cuts for clean edges.
Notes
Always use high-quality white chocolate for best flavor and texture.
Don’t skip the salt—it really enhances the balance of sweet and tart.
For clean cuts, chill thoroughly and wipe the knife between each slice.
