Cranberry, Apricot, Pistachio Fudge
This is one of our go-to holiday treat recipes.
Nothing sings the sweet song of the holidays like fudge filled with festive cranberries and pistachios — the colors of Christmas, and beautiful bits of amber-colored apricots. The creamy white chocolate base is the perfect foundation for these sweet and salty flavors, cut into perfect bite-sized nibbles. We prefer this over fruitcake because the colors are so bright and appealing.
This fudge is simple to prepare (only 5 ingredients!), looks great, tastes fancy, and requires just a handful of pantry basics. Our go-to holiday fudge recipe is perfect for hostess gifts, teachers, co-workers, and to share with our neighbors. As much as we love to share this treat, cranberry-pistachio-apricot fudge is a great treat to have on hand to satisfy our own sweet tooth.
