A CREAMY WHITE CHOCOLATE FUDGE

I think this White Chocolate Cranberry Pistachio Fudge is probably one of my favorite fudge recipes to make and give as gifts. A lot of folks don't always think to make fudge just for themselves and this is a flavor that I have found that most people absolutely adore!

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS EASY HOLIDAY FUDGE RECIPE:

Make sure the fudge has hardened well before cutting to get neatly cut pieces
Feel free to play with this recipe and change up the toppings to any desired dried fruit, nuts or mix-ins
You can also use a 9x9-inch square pan for a thinner fudge.
The green and red glazed cherries can usually be found in the produce section of your grocery store. They are usually in small, clear plastic tubs.
Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for about 2 weeks but you can also keep the fudge (in an airtight container) in the fridge for 3-4 weeks. Fudge can also be frozen (again, in an airtight container) for up to 3 months. Putting fudge in the refrigerator can dry it out so it's not recommended.
