Festive White Christmas Fudge

By Rosie Hawthorne on December 24, 2012

Rosie is still hanging in there, baking her little fingers to mere nubs. Welcome to Day 10 of my Christmas Rosiethon. I present to you festive White Christmas Fudge with accents of dried cherries and almond extract.

White Christmas Fudge
2 ½ cups confectioners sugar
⅔ cup milk
½ stick butter
12 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped
½ tsp almond extract
¾ cup dried cherries
¾ cup toasted almond slices

Line an 8-inch square pan with buttered foil.
Mix confectioners sugar and milk in heavy saucepan.
Over medium heat, add butter and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
Boil for another 5 minutes without stirring.
Over low heat, add chocolate and almond extract.
Whisk until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth.
Stir in dried cherries.
Pour mixture into prepared pan.
Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm.
Cut into 1-inch squares.
