🛒 Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Red food coloring
- Green food coloring
- ¼ cup holiday sprinkles, optional
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Pan
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some extra parchment hanging over the sides. This will make it much easier to lift the fudge out once it has set.
2. Melt the Chocolate
Add the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk to a saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Add the Christmas Colors
Divide the fudge mixture evenly among three bowls.
Leave one portion plain. Tint the second portion red and the third portion green, adding food coloring gradually until you reach your desired shades.
4. Layer and Swirl
Pour the red fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Add the plain mixture over it, followed by the green mixture.
Use a butter knife or toothpick to gently swirl the colors together, creating a beautiful marbled Christmas design. Don’t over-swirl, or the colors may blend too much.
5. Add the Sprinkles
If using, scatter the holiday sprinkles evenly over the surface while the fudge is still soft.
Gently press them into the surface if needed so they stay in place after the fudge sets.
6. Chill
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Once completely set, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper and place it on a cutting board. Cut into small squares and serve.
⭐ Tips for Perfect Christmas Fudge
- Use low heat: White chocolate can scorch easily, so keep the heat low and stir frequently.
- Don’t over-swirl: A few gentle swirls create a prettier marbled effect.
- Let it chill completely: Make sure the fudge is fully firm before cutting.
- For clean cuts: Use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts.
- Make it festive: Use red and green sprinkles, crushed peppermint, or other holiday decorations.
🎁 Serving and Gift Ideas
This Christmas fudge makes a wonderful addition to a holiday dessert platter. Arrange the squares alongside Christmas cookies, truffles, and other homemade treats for a colorful dessert spread.
It also makes a simple homemade Christmas gift. Place the fudge in small holiday treat bags or a decorative box and share it with friends, neighbors, teachers, or family.
🧊 Storage
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Place parchment or wax paper between layers to prevent the pieces from sticking together.
