Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups (525 g) white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
Flavoring:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Decorative Ingredients:
- Red gel food coloring
- Green gel food coloring
- Holiday sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare an 8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring excess paper hangs over the edges for effortless removal later.
- Melt white chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously until the mixture becomes completely smooth and homogeneous. Remove from heat and incorporate vanilla extract.
- Separate the melted chocolate mixture into three equal portions in different bowls, maintaining consistent volume.
- Create festive colors by adding red and green gel food coloring to two portions, leaving the third portion white. Mix each color thoroughly until evenly distributed.
- Pour alternating spoonfuls of red, green, and white mixtures into the prepared pan, creating a random, colorful pattern.
- Using a toothpick or thin skewer, gently swirl the colors together, creating an elegant marbled design without overmixing.
- While the fudge surface remains warm, delicately sprinkle holiday-themed decorative sprinkles across the top, pressing them lightly to ensure they adhere.
- Refrigerate the fudge for a minimum of 2 hours, allowing it to set completely and develop a firm, sliceable consistency.
- Lift the fully chilled fudge from the pan using the parchment paper overhang, then slice into bite-sized squares or rectangular pieces for serving.
Notes
- Experiment with different food coloring shades to create a personalized festive look that matches your holiday theme.
- Ensure the chocolate melts slowly and evenly by using low heat and stirring continuously to prevent burning or separation.
- Customize the fudge for dietary needs by using dairy-free white chocolate chips and coconut-based sweetened condensed milk for a vegan version.
- Let the fudge sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before cutting to achieve clean, smooth edges without cracking or crumbling.
