WHITE CHOCOLATE FUDGE WITH CRANBERRIES AND CANDIED CITRUS
Rich and fruity, this fudge takes its flavor cues from the classic Italian Christmas bread panettone. It also requires minimal work--just mix the ingredients, pour into a loaf pan, and let set in the refrigerator. Then slice and box the old-fashioned candy-shop way, with a knife to encourage instant gratification.
