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

Directions:

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.
