1 Video | Photo: Five-Minute Fudge Wreath Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 (12-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate morsels
- 9 ounces (3/4 of a 12-ounce bag) butterscotch morsels
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (8-ounce) can walnut halves
- 1/2 cup (a couple of handfuls) currants
- 8-inch cake pan, lightly greased with softened butter
- Candied cherries, red and green, for garnish, optional
Directions
Place a heavy pot on the stove and preheat it over low heat. Add chips and milk and stir until chips are melted and milk combined. Save the empty condensed milk can. Stir in vanilla and remove fudge from heat. Add nuts and currants and stir in immediately.
Cover empty condensed milk can with plastic food wrap and center it in the greased cake pan. Spoon fudge into pan around can, making sure to recenter can if it drifts.
The fudge will set up almost immediately. Garnish can only be added in the first minute or 2 the fudge is in the pan, so work quickly. Decorate your wreath with "holly" made from cut candied red and green cherries. A wreath left plain can be garnished with a pretty fabric bow when serving. Chill covered in the refrigerator and slice fudge very thin when ready to serve, a little goes a long way.

Additionally, the original recipe does not call for the currants; I always use chopped pecans.

This is the best fudge I've ever had, hands down! I've been making it for a few years now and not only does it taste fantastic and creamy, but it makes a BEAUTIFUL presentation. Everyone who tastes it cannot stop eating it - it will get you tons of compliments,and it is SO EASY to make! I use a non-stick metal cake pan and it works fine. This season I made mine with golden raisins, craisins and walnuts. My garnish was the candied red and green cherries - I've used pecans and coconut in previous batches - it is always wonderful - box it up and give it to your family and friends for a great (and much appreciated gift!

Probably the best fudge I have ever tasted and it is so easy to make. Rather than butter the pan, I lined it with plastic wrap so it was easy to remove. The currants, butterscotch, semi-sweet chocolate, and walnuts produced a truly luscious taste. Anyone receiving this fudge as a gift is truly in for a real treat. Also, I did use Ghirardelli semi sweet chocolate morsels.
