How to Make Cranberry Chocolate Fudge

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 10 ounces marshmallow creme, 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter.
  2. Over medium heat, stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a rolling boil, about 5-7 minutes. Be diligent about stirring to prevent burning.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips until completely melted and smooth.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, and 1 cup dried cranberries.
  5. Pour the mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking pan.
  6. Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature, at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.
  7. Once firm, cut into 1-inch squares.
