The year I made this I made 3 batches and served it to company on a deep red platter surrounded by holly sprigs. It looked like something from a magazine. I might add that I made them separately to insure that the fudge came out right. I cut into 2 inch squares so that is the yield I listed.

SERVES 16 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup butter
12 ounces white chocolate (coarsely chopped)
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3/4 cup dried cherries or dried cranberries or dried apricot, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup toasted sliced almonds

Directions

1
Line an 8 inch square pan with foil, grease foil.
2
Mix sugar and milk in a 3 quart saucepan over medium heat, add butter and stirring constantly, bring to a boil. Without stirring, boil for 5 minutes.
3
Over low heat, add chocolate and almond extract. Stir, then whisk until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth.
4
Stir in dried cherries and toasted almonds.
5
Pour mixture into pan. Refrigerate 2 hours until firm.
6
Invert pan, peel off foil and cut in 1 inch squares.
7
Tip: To toast almonds, spread in single layer on cookie sheet. Bake in 350 oven for 5-10 minutes, shaking pan occasionally until they begin to brown.
8
Very tasty and pretty.

I made this last Christmas to give as gifts to my coworkers and as a pretty addition to the cookie trays I brought to family parties. Everyone loved it! I used dried unsweetened cranberries and chopped pistachios, which tasted heavenly and made for a truly gorgeous Christmas look. And it was so easy! This WILL be a staple of my holiday cooking. Thanks for sharing it!

This was super easy and incredibly tasty. I used dried black cherries and almonds and broke it up rather than cutting it. They were a perfect addition to my Christmas gift tin. Thanks Annacia!

This is a very easy and quick fudge to make. It was a little to sweet for us but we did enjoy it. I used Craisins and forgot to toast the almonds but they did taste very good in the fudge untoasted. Sprayed the foil with cooking spray and the fudge came off very easily. When boiling the confectioner sugar mixture for 5 minutes, do keep an eye on it as it rises in the pan and starts to become a syrupy texture. Thank you Annacia!

Super easy recipe - just made this for Easter and substituted dried apricots, hazelnuts and rum extract (thought almond would be weird with hazelnuts)! Turned out nice and definitely appropriate for the season - making this a versatile recipe - change fruits for taste /or holiday!! Thanks for a great recipe!!
