Love this fudge recipe. So good, fast and easy to make. A big hit with friends and family!

I made this during the Christmas holidays with both cranberries and dried cherries. Both were a hit! I took a batch to work and everybody raved over them and got several requests for the recipe. I will try the recipe next with white chocolate chips

I made this recipe at Christmas. I thought it was very good, but it was quite rich so a small piece was a sufficient serving.

My family loved the chocolaty taste and that it was not real sweet plus the cranberrys made it look special for Christmas.

My husband and 2 boys thought this was the most wonderful fudge they had ever tasted. It is easy to make and tastes dreamy.

I had never tried doing fudge before! It turned out well and was so easy to do. I used peacans instead of walnuts and we all loved it.

I don't usually make fudge, but this sounded too easy and delicious to pass up! It's really good! I use dried cranberries and no-fat evaporated milk, so it should be even lower in fat. No guilt with eating this fudge! I only had a 8x8 square pan,so I ended up with less pieces.I will be making this every Christmas!
