Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Red food coloring
- Green food coloring
- 1/4 cup holiday sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, making sure to leave an overhang for easy removal once the fudge is set.
- Melt Ingredients: 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 for added flavor.
- Divide and Color: Pour the melted white chocolate mixture evenly into three separate bowls. Add red food coloring to one bowl, green food coloring to another, and leave the last bowl plain to retain its white color.
- Layer and Swirl: Pour the red-colored fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish first, followed by the plain fudge, and finally the green fudge. Use a knife to gently swirl the layers together to create a marbled visual effect.
- Add Decoration: While the fudge is still warm, sprinkle the holiday sprinkles evenly over the top for added festive flair and texture.
- Chill to Set: Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm enough to cut. Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper overhang and slice into 24 squares.
Notes
- To avoid burning the chocolate, melt the mixture over low heat and stir continuously.
- Use gel food coloring for more vibrant colors without altering the fudge’s consistency.
- For a variation, try adding crushed candy canes or nuts for extra texture.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Allow fudge to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for best texture.
