Instructions

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Then, spray the lined pan lightly with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the fudge later. Set the pan aside.
Melt the Ingredients: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and mixture is smooth.
Add Vanilla: Stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract thoroughly into the melted chocolate mixture to enhance flavor.
Pour and Smooth: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Use a rubber spatula to spread it evenly, creating a smooth surface.
Decorate: Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of festive Christmas sprinkles evenly over the top of the fudge.
Chill to Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator and let the fudge set for about 2 hours until firm.
Cut and Serve: Once set, remove the fudge from the pan by lifting the parchment or foil. Cut into 1-inch pieces and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

Line your pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil to make removing the fudge much easier.
Using higher quality chocolate such as Godiva or Ghirardelli will yield better results, but Nestle baking morsels work well too.
Be sure to use sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk, as it provides the needed sweetness and texture.
Store your fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks. Refrigeration can extend shelf life to 3-4 weeks.
