White Chocolate Cranberry-Orange Fudge

Merry Mondays has inspired us!!!

When we saw the theme for this week was fudge we wanted to come up

something new and exciting!

Holly and I both love anything with cranberry-orange but this

fudge was Holly's idea!

Do a rough chop on the cranberries.

Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add sugar and milk.

Be sure to stir constantly!

Cook until reaches 236° exactly!

Remove from heat and add chocolate chips and marshmallow creme.

Add the orange extract,

cranberries,

and orange zest.

Save some zest for the top!

Pour into a foil lined 9x13-inch pan.

Zest the rest of the orange over the top.

Note: the oranges are slippery buggers, watch them!! LOL!

Ready to head to the fridge to cool!

Enjoy!

Cranberry-Pistachio Biscotti

These look like Christmas right?

They turned out so pretty:)

We made 2 different versions of this recipe-the 2nd one is Cranberry Macadamia Biscotti.

The Macadamia was the more popular one which I think is because pistachio is kinda of a different-not-your-everyday kind of flavor.

***

So start by mixing oil and sugar until well blended.

Mix in the vanilla and almond extracts,

like so,

then beat in eggs.

Beat until eggs are incorporated.

Combine flour, salt, and baking powder; gradually add to egg mixture.

Mix in the cranberries and nuts by hand.

Divide dough in half and form into 2 logs on a cookie sheet.

Dough may be sticky; wet hands to handle dough more easily.

Bake for 35 mins or until light brown. Remove from oven and cool for 10 mins.

Reduce heat to 275 degrees.

Cut logs on diagonal into 3/4 inch thickness.

Lay on biscotti on its side.

Bake for another 8 to 10 mins.

Cool.

We decided to kick it up a notch and dip the bottoms into white chocolate:)

Delicious!!

So pretty-it would make a very yummy gift for the teachers or your neighbors.

These are the Cranberry-Macadamia nut Biscotti with some coffee:)

For these you just add Macadamia instead of pistachio.

MmmmYum!

Enjoy!
