How to Make Best Christmas Fudge

Ingredients:

14 oz sweetened condensed milk (divided)
6 oz white chocolate chips
6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tsp vanilla extract (divided)
2 tbsp Christmas sprinkles

Directions:

Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper, spray it with nonstick cooking spray, and set it aside.
Place the white chocolate chips in a medium bowl and the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a separate medium bowl. Divide the sweetened condensed milk in half, adding about 7 oz of the condensed milk to each bowl.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate mixture in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between. After fully melted, add in 1 tsp of vanilla extract and stir to combine. Spread the melted semi-sweet chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan.
Melt the white chocolate mixture in the microwave in the same way, stirring every 30 seconds. After it’s melted, add the remaining 1 tsp of vanilla extract and stir. Mix in the Christmas sprinkles and spread this mixture on top of the semi-sweet chocolate fudge layer.
Top with extra sprinkles and chill in the fridge for at least one hour before slicing and enjoying.

How to Serve Best Christmas Fudge

When it’s time to enjoy your Christmas fudge, simply slice it into squares. You can serve it straight from the fridge for a cool, creamy treat. Pair it with a cup of hot cocoa or coffee for a festive snack, and watch it become a favorite among family and friends. You can also place it in decorative tins to share as gifts.

How to Store Best Christmas Fudge

To keep your fudge fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep it longer, you can refrigerate it for up to 2-3 weeks. Just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper if you stack them to prevent sticking.

Tips to Make Best Christmas Fudge

Make sure to chop the chocolate chips as finely as possible for even melting.
Stir the chocolate mixtures continuously while melting to avoid burning.
Add more Christmas sprinkles on top before serving for a more festive look.
Experiment with different flavored extracts, like peppermint, for a fun twist.

Variation

You can easily switch up this fudge by adding nuts like walnuts or pecans, or even including crushed candies like peppermint or holiday-themed chocolate bars.

FAQs

Can I use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet?
Yes, you can substitute milk chocolate chips for semi-sweet if you prefer a sweeter fudge.

Can I freeze the fudge?
Absolutely! Wrap the fudge tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in an airtight container before freezing.

What if I don’t have sweetened condensed milk?
You can make your own by simmering milk and sugar together, reducing to about half its volume, or use store-bought alternatives, like evaporated milk mixed with sugar.
