How to Make Dark Chocolate Cranberry And Cashew Fudge

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for exactly 5 minutes, continuing to stir.
  3. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 12 ounces of dark chocolate (chopped), and 1 cup mini marshmallows until completely melted and smooth.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, followed by 1 cup chopped cashews and ½ cup dried cranberries.
  5. Pour the mixture into an 8x8 inch baking pan that has been lightly greased or lined with parchment paper.
  6. Smooth the top of the fudge with a spatula or offset knife.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the fudge to firm up and the flavors to meld.
  8. Once firm, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
