Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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 extra paper hanging over the edges to easily lift the fudge out once 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 completely melted and smooth. Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Color the Fudge: Divide the melted fudge mixture evenly into three separate bowls. Add red food coloring to one bowl, green food coloring to another, and leave the last bowl plain, stirring each until the color is evenly distributed.
- Layer the Fudge: Pour the red fudge mixture evenly into the prepared dish as the first layer. Then pour the plain fudge on top as the second layer, followed by the green fudge as the final layer. Using a knife, gently swirl the layers together to create a marbled effect, being careful not to overmix.
- Add Sprinkles: While the fudge is still warm and soft, sprinkle holiday-themed sprinkles evenly over the top if desired for added festive decoration.
- Chill: Place the dish 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 small squares for serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor and smooth texture.
- You can customize the colors by adjusting the amount of food coloring to your preference.
- Ensure the fudge mixture is smooth and fully melted to avoid grainy fudge.
- Keep the fudge refrigerated to maintain firmness, especially in warmer environments.
- Holiday sprinkles are optional but add a nice festive touch and texture contrast.
