DARK CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY AND CASHEW FUDGE



Dark Chocolate Cranberry and Cashew Fudge image

I recently made JackieOhNo!'s recipe #386677 and that showed me that it can actually be pretty easy to make fudge. So, it got my creative juices flowing and I decided to try to play around and see what I can do come up with a new fudge recipe. I love dark chocolate and so that is the direction I went and threw in the other ingredients to try to cut through the richness. I included a couple hours chilling time in the cooking time but really the longer you leave it the better it gets.

Categories     Candy

Time 2h5m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2/3 cup reduced-fat evaporated milk
1 2/3 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup dark chocolate, broken up in bits
1 1/2 cups marshmallows
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup raw cashews, freshly toasted and roughly chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Put the evaporated milk, sugar and salt into a pan and bring to the boil.
  • Allow to boil for 5 minutes, stirring all the time and then remove from the heat.
  • Stir in the broken up dark chocolate,and marshmallows and keep stirring until it is all melted.
  • Stir in the vanilla followed by the nuts and cranberries.
  • Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 8 inch square pan. Try to resist licking the spoon too much!
  • Smooth out the mixture so that it is as flat as possible on the top and put into the fridge to cool.
  • The longer it is in the fridge the more firm the fudge gets and the more the richness mellows out. Overnight would be fantastic but you can eat it just fine after a couple hours.
  • Cut up into squares and enjoy.

Tips for Making the Best Cranberry Fudge:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but they should be thawed and drained before using.
  • Chop the cranberries finely so that they distribute evenly throughout the fudge.
  • Cook the sugar and corn syrup mixture to the correct temperature. If the mixture is not cooked to a high enough temperature, the fudge will not set properly.
  • Stir the fudge constantly while it is cooking. This will help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
  • Once the fudge has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and stir in the cranberries and nuts.
  • Pour the fudge into a greased 8x8 inch pan and let it cool completely before cutting it into squares.

Conclusion:

Cranberry fudge is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its bright red color and tart flavor, cranberry fudge is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a sweet and easy dessert, give cranberry fudge a try!
