WHITE CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY NUT FUDGE

I based this recipe on several others I've seen. It is so good! The cranberries cut the sweetness of the white chocolate. Don't leave them out or it may be too sweet. If you use evaporated milk, one large can = 1 1/2 cups. Toasting the nuts is optional but it brings out their flavor. This is a great holiday sweet.
