Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Red and green food coloring
- 1/4 cup holiday sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Optional Substitutions
- Use dairy-free white chocolate chips for a vegan option.
- Swap food coloring with natural alternatives like beet or matcha powder for a healthier twist.
- Add crushed peppermint candies instead of sprinkles for a festive crunch.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pan
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving extra paper hanging over the sides for easy removal. This step ensures your fudge will lift out effortlessly.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
Combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a medium saucepan. Stir over low heat until the chocolate melts completely, creating a smooth and creamy mixture. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for an added layer of flavor.
Step 3: Divide and Color
Divide the melted chocolate mixture evenly into three bowls. Add red food coloring to one bowl and green food coloring to another, leaving the third bowl plain. Stir each bowl until the colors are evenly mixed.
Step 4: Layer the Fudge
Pour the red mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Add the plain layer next, followed by the green layer. For a marbled effect, gently swirl the layers together using a knife.
Step 5: Decorate and Chill
Sprinkle holiday-themed sprinkles on top while the fudge is still warm. Refrigerate for at least two hours or until the fudge is firm. Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut it into squares.
