Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 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, ensuring some overhang on the sides for easy removal of the fudge once set.
- Melt the Base Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract to infuse flavor.
- Divide and Color: Transfer the melted fudge mixture evenly into three separate bowls. Add red food coloring to one bowl to create red fudge, green food coloring to another for green fudge, and leave the third bowl plain for the original white fudge.
- Pour and Marbelize: Pour the red fudge into the prepared baking pan first, followed by the plain fudge, then the green fudge on top. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the layers together, creating a beautiful marbled effect.
- Add Sprinkles: While the fudge is still warm and soft, sprinkle the top with holiday sprinkles if desired for added festive decoration and texture.
- Chill and Set: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is completely firm. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out and cut into 24 squares for serving.
Notes
- Make sure to stir constantly while melting to prevent the white chocolate from burning or seizing.
- If you want a smoother swirl effect, warm the food coloring slightly to help mix it evenly into the fudge.
- The fudge is best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- You can substitute white chocolate chips with high-quality white chocolate bars chopped into small pieces for a richer flavor.
- Feel free to customize the sprinkles or omit them for a simple, classic fudge.
