Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
Make sure to use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best texture and flavor. - 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
The sweetened condensed milk helps give the fudge its creamy, smooth consistency. - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Adds a hint of warmth and depth to the flavor. - Red and green food coloring
To create the iconic holiday colors. Use gel food coloring for vibrant, saturated hues. - 1/4 cup holiday sprinkles (optional)
If you want to add an extra festive touch, sprinkle these on top before chilling the fudge.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pan
Before you start, line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides. This makes it easier to lift the fudge out once it’s set.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly over low heat until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and silky. Once melted, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 3: Divide and Color the Fudge
Divide the melted chocolate mixture evenly into three bowls. In one bowl, add a few drops of red food coloring, and in the second, add green food coloring. Leave the third bowl as it is. Stir each bowl until the color is fully incorporated.
Step 4: Layer the Fudge
Pour the red fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Next, gently spoon the plain white fudge over the red layer. Finally, top the white fudge with the green fudge. Once all the layers are added, use a knife to swirl the colors together, creating a marbled effect.
Step 5: Add Sprinkles (Optional)
If you’re using sprinkles, now is the time to add them. Sprinkle them evenly over the top of the fudge before it starts to firm up.
Step 6: Chill and Set
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it’s firm. Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut it into small squares, and you’re ready to serve!

- Use high-quality white chocolate chips. The quality of the chocolate makes a big difference in the texture and taste of your fudge. Opt for premium brands that melt smoothly.
- Avoid overheating the chocolate. Melt the white chocolate over low heat to prevent it from burning or seizing.
- Gel food coloring works best. It provides more vibrant colors without altering the texture of the fudge. A little goes a long way, so start with a few drops and adjust as needed.
