Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coloring and Decoration
- Red food coloring
- Green food coloring
- 1/4 cup holiday sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. This will make it easier to lift out the fudge once it has set.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract to enhance flavor.
- Color the Fudge: Divide the melted fudge mixture evenly into three separate bowls. Add red food coloring to one bowl and green food coloring to another, leaving the third bowl plain white.
- Layer the Fudge: Pour the red-colored fudge into the prepared pan first. Follow with the plain white fudge layer, then pour the green fudge on top. Take a knife and gently swirl through all the layers to create a marbled, festive effect.
- Add Sprinkles: While the fudge is still warm, evenly sprinkle the holiday sprinkles over the top for added color and festive decoration.
- Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm. Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan and cut it into 24 squares for serving.
Notes
- Make sure to melt the chocolate gently over low heat to avoid burning or seizing.
- Use gel-based food coloring for more vibrant colors without changing the fudge consistency.
- Customize sprinkles or omit for a simpler presentation.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Allow fudge to come to room temperature before serving for a creamier texture.
