Ingredients
- 1 can of maple syrup (preferably Golden for its delicate taste)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

- Meanwhile, butter a 33×23-cm (13×9-in) baking sheet or pan and set aside.
- Remove the preparation from the heat and stand for 5 minutes. Stir in vanilla and beat with a whisk for 5 minutes until thick.
- Pour the mixture on the baking sheet or into the pan and let cool 2 minutes before sprinkling the surface with pretzels, chocolate, cranberries and pistachios.
- Cut into squares without removing from pan and allow cooling for 2 to 3 hours.
- Once the cream fudge has cooled down, cut the squares over the previous marks and unmold.
For an even more festive version, decorate with maple flakes.
