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.

Great Christmas presents
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe and liked it but my boys wanted a plain fudge. I subsituted the butterscotch chips with peanut butter and... just added nuts. It turned out wonderful. I also make this with toffee chips sometimes also. I make different varieties of this fudge for extra Christmas presents.Read more

New Christmas Tradition
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made smaller wreaths last year as gifts. I also made some substituting white chocolate, pecans and craisins. Everyone... loved both versions and said it was the best fudge they had every tasted. I plan to make it every year for my office, neighbors ,etc. And of course for my family. I just used small bowls that I sprayed with PAM and I put a small class wrapped in platic wrap in the center. They turned out great and I think I got twice as many gifts out of each batch. I love watching Rachael Ray in the evenings when I get home from work. She has some terrific 30 minute meals, although they seem to take me slightly longer to prepare. Thanks Racheal for my new Christmas Tradition!!Read more
