By PatN

Ingredients

• 2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1/4 cup reduced-fat evaporated milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 package (5 ounces) dried cranberries
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Preparation

Step 1

Line a 9-in. square pan with foil. Coat the foil with cooking spray; set aside.

In a heavy saucepan, combine chocolate chips and corn syrup. Cook and stir over low heat until smooth. Remove from the heat. Stir in the confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla. Beat with a wooden spoon until thickened and glossy, about 5 minutes. Stir in cranberries and walnuts. Spread into prepared pan; refrigerate until firm.

Using foil, lift fudge out of pan; discard foil. Cut fudge into 1-in. squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
