Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Ingredients

  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup festive sprinkles or crushed peppermint candies

Instructions

  1. Prepare baking pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring you leave an overhang for easy removal of the fudge later.
  2. Melt chocolate mixture: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly for about 3 to 5 minutes until the mixture is fully melted, smooth, and well combined.
  3. Pour and spread: Transfer the melted chocolate mixture into the prepared pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly into all corners.
  4. Add festive topping: Immediately sprinkle festive sprinkles or crushed peppermint candies over the surface. Press gently so they adhere to the fudge.
  5. Chill to set: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours until the fudge is completely set and firm.
  6. Cut and serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Cut into 16 even squares. Serve chilled or allow to come to room temperature for a softer texture.

Notes

  • This fudge is best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a dairy-free alternative, use vegan chocolate chips and sweetened condensed coconut milk.
  • You can customize toppings such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or different types of candy.
  • Ensure to stir constantly while melting to prevent burning the chocolate.
  • If the fudge is too hard after chilling, let it sit at room temperature a few minutes before serving for easier cutting.
