This Coconut White Chocolate Cranberry Fudge is rich, decadent and creamy with loads of coconut used 4 ways to create a dreamy, sweet fudge that will make your mouth-water.

What fudge will you be making this holiday season?

Yeowzzza!  Oh my gosh readers, do I have a treat for you!  You can love me later.  Right after you taste this phenomenal Coconut White Chocolate Cranberry Fudge.

If you love coconut, you will looooovvvvve this fudge.

This recipe is loaded with sweet coconut… Not only is it sprinkled on top, but it uses a Lindt Coconut White Chocolate Bar with Coconut Flakes + Cream of Coconut + Coconut Oil.

Holy coconuts…that’s a quadruple threat!

Coconut White Chocolate Cranberry Fudge | Inspiration KitchenIf you’ve never tried the Lindt Coconut White Chocolate EXCELLENCE Bar with Coconut Flakes, you haaaave to!  I am telling you, you’ll see why ‘EXCELLENCE‘ is right there in the name.

I don’t even care that they’re shouting at me with their all-caps selves.  I’d shout it from the rooftops too, if I could.  I love it that much.

Coconut White Chocolate Cranberry Fudge | Inspiration KitchenI love to use this Coconut White Chocolate candy bar in desserts (like this White Chocolate Coconut Cheesecake & Raspberry Whipped Cream Vodka Drizzle), because it brings such a prominent coconut flavor.  Paired with the smooth, decadent, rich and creamy white chocolate, it makes my mouth water to even write about it.

Do it.  Do it now.  Go.  To the store.  I’ll wait!

Now that you know what you have to do, let’s talk about fudge.  I know that Thanksgiving is only 12 days away, buuuuut hear me out.

The bone-chilling 24 degree temperatures around here, have me thinking about Christmas!  Just yesterday, the grass crunched and crackled under my feet, heavy with a thick, icy white layer of frost, as I went out to de-frost the Hummingbird’s food.  And during all the shivering and shaking, all I could think about was snow and Christmas and gift giving!  The holidays are among us, and I want to be ready.   #fudgeiswhereitsat

I really couldn’t think of a more festive, Christmas-y looking fudge than this!  Can you?

Coconut White Chocolate Cranberry Fudge | Inspiration Kitchen I don’t know about you, but I would *love* to get a tin of these from a neighbor for the holidays!

Anddddd…, now you know what I’m getting you!  🙂  Christmas comes early!

    This is so festive. I thought it was Starbucks’ cranberry bliss bar for a sec. This sounds even better…fudge, coconut, chocolate. It’s really beautiful and makes such a great holiday gift…I’ve been thinking about things I want to make for my friends and neighbors. : )

    These are gorgeous! And yes, they do just scream Christmas to me!! With all the sweets I make, I don’t often make fudge. I have to change that with this recipe!! Is it really in the twenties over by you?? It is actually snowing quite a bit tonight for us. I can’t believe how early it came this year!! Yikes!!

      Renee, it is sssooo cold here! It may be 24 degrees, but because we have so much moisture, it makes it feel bitter cold. The cars and lawn don’t defrost all day. 🙂 I’m surprised you don’t make fudge – I am always amazed at all your wonderful, sweet desserts! I would think fudge would be right up there on the top of your list! Have a beautiful weekend!

    Did you say COCO-nut? In fudge? Girl, you know the way to my heart! I love that you combined my two loves and with the white chocolate and cranberries this sounds like it was meant for me! It looks so pretty and festive and would make a perfect holiday gift but I think I may just save this gift for myself Yum!

    You’ve made my coconut dream fudge! Why haven’t I ever seen that coconut white chocolate bar? I’m not big on white chocolate normally, but coconut flavored would change me! This is so pretty, and all the coconut love you put in here is right up my alley! Pinned. 🙂
