    Easy Orange Cranberry White Chocolate Fudge

    This Easy Orange Cranberry White Chocolate Fudge is delicious, has a great texture, taking only a few minutes - and ingredients - to make!

    Today we're going for an Easy Blood Orange Cranberry White Chocolate Fudge, tomorrow I'll be posting a traditional fudge recipe.

    As mentioned yesterday, they'll both be flavored with blood orange extract and cranberries - a favorite combination of mine. What can I say, I was on a kick! Let's get to it...

    Traditional Fudge vs Easy Fudge

    Now, there are two main types of fudge. It doesn't have anything to do with flavor, it's about base ingredients and technique:

    Traditional Fudge

    A candy thermometer is set up in the pot and watched until the mixture reaches the “Soft Ball Stage” - around 238 degrees.

    The actual degree to watch for may vary between recipes - “Soft Ball Stage” is a range of temperatures.

    The mixture is usually allowed to cool for a bit, then beat by hand. The beating crystallizes the sugars in the mixture, and then smooths out those crystals.

    It can take a bit of practice to get the beating part right - if you don’t beat long enough, your fudge won’t be smooth. If you beat too long, it can be crumbly.

    Traditional Orange Cranberry Fudge and Sucre à la Crème are my traditional style fudge recipes.

    Easy Fudge

    Easy fudge takes literally 5 minutes to make. You melt chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk, add stuff, pour it out, and let it set.
