Christmas confetti fudge arranged in a festive gift box

A little homemade sweetness makes a thoughtful Christmas gift. Studded with red and green candied cherries, this white-chocolate fudge looks festive tucked into a vintage tin or carefully packed gift box. The small squares are particularly lovely for sharing.

Ingredients

1½ pounds white baking chocolate
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1½ cups chopped red candied cherries
1½ cups green candied cherries
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Melt the white baking chocolate with the sweetened condensed milk in a heavy saucepan, stirring constantly.
Remove from the heat and stir in the candied cherries, vanilla extract, and salt.
Spread evenly into a buttered, parchment-lined 8 × 8-inch baking pan.
Chill about 2 hours, or until firm.
Use the parchment to lift the fudge onto a cutting board. Remove the parchment and cut into squares.

Yield: 24 generous pieces or 36 small squares.

A Little Something Homemade

Once the fudge is firm and cut, arrange the squares in a decorative tin or gift box, with parchment between layers as needed. Keep the presentation simple so the bright cherry-studded fudge takes center stage.
