Instructions

Making the White Chocolate Fudge:

  2. Melt the chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
  3. Stir until smooth: Continuously stir until the mixture is fully melted and smooth (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat.
  4. Add vanilla & mix-ins: Stir in the vanilla extract, dried cranberries, chopped nuts, and coconut (if using).

Setting the Fudge:

  1. Transfer to pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  2. Garnish: Sprinkle the top with additional cranberries, nuts, coconut, and holiday sprinkles.
  3. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until firm.

Serving:

  1. Cut into squares: Lift the fudge out using the parchment paper and cut into small squares.
  2. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
