When I tried this recipe, it didn't really firm up properly. Unfortunately, I had to throw my batch away.

Didn't set for me at all. Will not do again. Big waste of expensive ingredients

The reason why ur fudges did not set is coz' of TOO MUCH of CRANBERRIES. The original recipe calls only for 1 1/4 (1.25) cups of cranberries & not a 12-oz package which is like 2 cups/more of em'. You'll get a fabulous fudge that sets in a few hours. I also added a few drops of orange extract since orange flavor works well with cranberries & a handful of finely chopped walnuts. AND BOY!! WAS THE FUDGE YUMMY !!

Nope, won't set. I made truffles as another reviewer had suggested. They've been in the FREEZER for 2 days and they are now at a normal truffle consistency. Better off using your fav. fudge recipe and adding craisins. I also added a couple T of cocoa and 1/2 t. of almond flavoring to nullify the chocolate chip taste.

turned out great! I used a new product called Berry Bits (sweetened cranberry). It gives it a little less tart but still a great taste

Here's the secret.... forget the fresh/frozen cranberries. Use CRAISINS (dried cranberries) and add 1 cup of chopped pecans if you like. Ta da! PERFECT consistency FIRST TIME....!

This is very good but it did not set for me. I rolled it up in nuts instead and it was really good.

I used 1 1/4 cups cranberries instead of the whole bag. I boiled for 7 minutes and my fudge set with no problem. I did mix the vanilla, sugar and milk together before hand I don't know if that makes any difference and I added 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. I really liked the mix of sweet and tart, however I used generic semi-sweet chocolate and I think it showed in the quality. Next time I will user higher quality chocolate but I will definitly be making this again.

I boiled the mixture for almost a half hour- the result looked like jam- but it wasn't 3tbs worth- more like a cup's worth of cranberry jam. I tasted it as I was pouring it into the pan- so bitter!!! It definately needs more sweetness- it is very tart. So far it seems to be setting up quite nicely in the fridge- but it is not sweet at all. Maybe using milk chocolate chips would help? Definately plan on boiling it for at least 20 minutes instead of the 5-7 the recipe states.

Yummy, but I couldn't get it to set. No problem - I froze it, rolled it into balls, dipped it in chocolate and made the most wonderful truffles. Melt 1/8 lb parafin with 1 lg. bag chocolate if you'd like to do the same.
