Sweets for Christmas

[SarzWix]

Newbie, in my experience fudge freezes perfectly well so mine is all made already and in the freezer
Alison, I'm sure there must be a recipe for truffles somewhere that will keep, how do businesses manage otherwise? Pity julesapple isn't around - her hubby is a chocolatier... I always assumed that the alcohol content was one of the reasons that they keep?

On another thread I gave my recipe for no-burn fudge. I made some with dried cranberries in (bought from a Julian Graves shop). It worked VERY well, and you could hardly get a more Christmassy recipe! I used about 100gms cranberries to the half-tin of caramel condensed milk, and probably 200gm (possibly more) of icing sugar.

Been doing a bit of a search on the internet and found a couple that sound like they'd be OK and take your point re the alcohol, not thought of that. Will be experimenting this weekend and will post re anything that works, or doesn't.
