Ingredients

• ¼ cup butter
• 2 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
• ¼ teaspoon almond extract
• ⅔ cup milk
• ¼ cup sweetened dried cranberries
• ¼ cup dried cherries
• ¼ cup chopped dried apricots
• 2 (6 ounce) packages white chocolate, chopped
• ¾ cup toasted sliced almonds

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Line a 9-inch square pan with a piece of aluminum foil long enough to extend over the sides of the pan by several inches and generously grease the foil with butter.

Step 2

Mix confectioners' sugar with milk and 1/4 cup butter in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring until combined; bring to a full rolling boil. Boil fudge for 5 minutes without stirring. Reduce heat to low and stir in white chocolate until melted and combined.

Step 3

Remove from heat and stir in almond extract, sliced almonds, dried apricots, dried cherries, and dried cranberries. Spread fudge into the prepared pan and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the foil and peel foil from fudge. Discard foil; cut fudge into 1-inch pieces. Store in refrigerator.
