Re: Cranberry Fudge

It turned out fine,is yummy, but I will try it with half milk chocolate morsels next time to enhance the flavor.

The Fudge was soft, and never harden up enough to really enjoy. Premeasured all ingredients first, mixed until my arm was going to fall off and it never did harden up. Diffently would not make again !!Waste of time and money.

It turned out great and firmed up just fine. I did measure out all of my ingredients first so that there would be no delay in between steps. I also put in a full cup of walnuts. Absolutely delicious!

I haven't tasted them but the hub's said they are very rich. Think they will be around for awhile.

Well still not sure what I did wrong but the fudge never set.. so instead of throwing it all away I melted a bag of semi-sweet chips with a tbsp of shortening in a double boiler. I used a spoon to scoup out the fudge and rolled into balls and dipped them in the melted choc. Put them in the refrigerator to harden and had the best tasting new creation. Even served them at our neighborhood get together and had many that wanted the recipe!
