Cherry-Almond White Chocolate Fudge Recipe

1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
2/3 cup whole milk
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) butter
1-1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1/2 cup dried cherries or cranberries

Line a 8-inch square pan with foil; grease foil.

Mix sugar and milk in a heavy 3-quart saucepan. Add butter and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.

Without stirring, boil vigorously 5 min. Remove from heat.

Add chips and vanilla. Stir, then whisk until chips melt and mixture is smooth. Stir in almonds and cherries. Spread in prepared pan.

Refrigerate 6 hours until firm. Invert pan, peel off foil, invert fudge, and cut in 1-inch squares.
