Method

Fudge With Cranberries & Pecan Nuts is a community recipe submitted by Steph77 and has not been tested by Nigella.com so we are not able to answer questions regarding this recipe.

Put the chopped chocolate, condensed milk, butter and salt in a heavy-based pan on a low heat, and stir to melt.

Put the pecan nuts into a freezer bag and bash them with a rolling pin, until broken up into both big and little pieces.

Add the nuts and dried cranberries to the melted chocolate and condensed milk and stir well to mix.

Pour and spatch this mixture into a foil tray 15 to 20cm square, smoothing the top.

Let the fudge cool, and refrigerate until set. You can then cut it into small pieces approx. 1 x 2cm. Cutting 4 x 5 lines in the tin to give 20 pieces best achieves this.

Once cut, it can be kept in the freezer - no need to thaw just eat straight away.
