I am finally, FINALLY completely recovered from the cruise!  Woohoo!  Now I’m about to tear my house apart again for Thanksgiving…does the fun never end???  No, seriously, I am really looking forward to hosting Thanksgiving this year and kind of redeeming myself in my family’s eyes after boycotting last Thanksgiving in favor of going to Disneyland.  I’m just awful 🙂

I’ve been busting out fudge left and right lately and it’s kind of like my new favorite thing.  Good thing Chris’s coworkers also like fudge because I swear I’m sending in a tray every day!  My latest love is this White Chocolate Cranberry Fudge.

It’s pure heaven in your mouth.  The white chocolate is so smooth, so creamy, so rich and the cranberries just cut through it all perfectly with a refreshing zip.  I made life easy and just used a bag of Craisins cause that’s how I roll 🙂

I only used 1 cup of white chocolate chips in this recipe so you get that sweet, rich taste but it’s not overpowering.  Chris said this is his favorite one so far.  Well, this and the Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Fudge.  The kids agree.  I could hardly keep their little fingers out of the frame as I was shooting – despite the fact that I had a whole plate over on the counter.  Boys!

So you’ll notice that this fudge is thinner.  I went with a 9×13 baking dish instead of the standard 8×8 or 9×9.  You could totally use those, of course, but I wanted a little different look for this fudge.  Something a bit more elegant 🙂  I love it!

I also used clear vanilla extract – not a deal-breaker – but it keeps the fudge that dreamy, creamy white and really makes those cranberries pop!

I know many of you get scared off when I ask you to use a candy thermometer, but, trust me, YOU can do this. I have used many candy thermometers. over the years but my favorite is this digital candy thermometer here.

You can set your desired temperature and it will beep at you when it gets close so that you’re ready for the next step. Also? I’ve been using it for a couple years and it’s still 100% accurate – just tested it again this morning 🙂
