Description

This classic Christmas Fudge recipe offers a rich, creamy, and festive treat perfect for holiday celebrations. Made with semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and vanilla extract, this easy-to-make fudge is topped with colorful Christmas sprinkles, bringing seasonal joy to every bite. The no-bake method uses a quick microwave technique to melt ingredients and requires chilling time for perfect setting.

Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Base

  • 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup butter (salted or unsalted)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Topping

  • 2-3 tablespoons Christmas sprinkles

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add Vanilla: Stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract thoroughly into the melted chocolate mixture to enhance flavor.
  4. Pour and Smooth: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Use a rubber spatula to spread it evenly, creating a smooth surface.
  5. Decorate: Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of festive Christmas sprinkles evenly over the top of the fudge.
  6. Chill to Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator and let the fudge set for about 2 hours until firm.
  7. 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.
  • Nutritional values are approximate and may vary based on the specific brands and ingredients used.
