Cranberry Pistachio Fudge without Sweetened Condensed Milk

I’ve been making this Cranberry Pistachio Fudge for years, usually for Christmas and New Years Eve and every time I make it, everybody is super excited and it is usually devoured in a matter of minutes. Once you try it out you can hardly stop at only one piece as it is simply irresistible and quite addictive.

This recipe of fudge that uses powdered milk is by far one of my favorite fudge recipes, as you can have better control on the sugar and the results are always amazing. I hardly recommend trying this chocolate fudge along with this white cranberry pistachio fudge as both are simply out of this world.
You can always make variations to these fudge recipes to suit your own tastes by adding various fruits or nuts, citrus zest, various spices, coffee, and the list can go on. Hope you will try this cranberry pistachio fudge as I am sure you will be as delighted as we are. Enjoy!
