We’ve all been told pistachios are good for your heart.  Aronia Berries are great antioxidants.  What if we combined those two for a seasonal treat – we’d get healthy fudge, right?

One of our favorite, easy to make holiday treats is Aronia/Pistachio White Chocolate Fudge.

I made a batch recently to share with friends and neighbors.  It always gets rave reviews and it’s something different.   I bet they won’t get duplicates!

The ingredients are simple and so is the process.  It’s a quick and easy fudge and you don’t need to use a candy thermometer!

Spray (or line with foil) a pan.  It makes a 9 x 9 pan full of thick fudge.  I used a 7 x 11″ pan here I’d sprayed.

Begin by using a 2 quart saucepan on low heat.  Pour in the can of Sweetened Condensed Milk.  Add 3 cups of white chocolate chips.  Melt over medium heat until smooth and creamy.  It will be thick.

Add 1 tsp vanilla and 1/8 tsp salt and stir well.  Mix in 3/4 cups of shelled pistachios and 1 cup of dried Aronia berries.  Stir together and pour into the prepared pan.

Refrigerate or let sit until firm and ready to sample or cut and share.
