Homemade white chocolate fudge loaded with pecans and dried cranberries is the perfect holiday treat.  This recipe is another variation of my famous five minute fudge recipe, so it’s very easy to make.  The flavor of cranberries and pecans mixed with the white chocolate gets an additional flavor boost through the addition of a few drops of orange essential oil. 

It was during Thanksgiving dinner that I started thinking of holiday flavors.  I realized that I really liked the idea of a white chocolate fudge with cranberries and pecans.  It was as I was eating a breakfast muffin that I realized that this proposed combination needed some orange flavor.  Did you guess that it was an orange cranberry muffin?

So I began by melting white chocolate chips in sweetened condensed milk.  Once it was melted and I was able to stir it together to a smooth consistency, I added some dried cranberries, chopped pecans, and 8 drops of orange essential oil and stirred it again.  The fudge was then poured into a 8X11″ pan that was lined with wax paper.    After it cooled, it was cut into squares and placed in a covered container with was paper between the layers.The result was better than I had imagined.  Even Baker’s Man who had originally been skeptical about this combination liked it.  In fact, it was the first type of fudge to disappear.

Here’s your recipe.  Give it a try.  You’ll be very glad you did.   Thanks for visiting Patty Cake’s Pantry.
