Christmas Fudge With Sprinkles (Print View)
Creamy chocolate fudge with colorful holiday sprinkles, made in minutes with just 5 ingredients.
# What You Need:
→ Chocolate Base
01 - 3 cups (17.6 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
02 - 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
03 - 4 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
04 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
→ Topping
05 - 1/3 cup holiday sprinkles
# How-To Steps:
01 - Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
02 - In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
03 - Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
04 - Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
05 - Scatter the holiday sprinkles evenly across the surface, gently pressing them into the fudge so they adhere.
06 - Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and fully set.
07 - Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into 25 even squares and serve.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- It takes barely ten minutes of active work, which means you can make it while wrapping gifts or hiding from relatives.
- The sprinkles are not just decoration, they make people smile before they even take a bite.
02 -
- Keep the heat low and stir constantly because scorched chocolate cannot be saved and will ruin the entire batch.
- Do not skip the parchment paper or you will be chiseling fudge out of the pan with a butter knife at midnight.
03 -
- For a nutty twist, stir half a cup of chopped walnuts or pecans into the fudge before spreading it in the pan.
- The fudge also freezes beautifully for up to three months, so make a double batch and hide the second one from yourself.
