Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 14 ounces (397 grams) sweetened condensed milk
- 6 ounces (170 grams) white chocolate chips
- 6 ounces (170 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Flavoring:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Decoration:
- 2 tablespoons Christmas sprinkles
- Extra Christmas sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Prepare a square baking vessel by lining with parchment paper and applying a light mist of nonstick spray to ensure easy release of the fudge.
- Create the first chocolate layer by combining semi-sweet chocolate chips with half of the sweetened condensed milk in a microwave-safe container, heating in brief intervals and stirring until achieving a silky consistency.
- Enhance the chocolate mixture with vanilla extract, stirring thoroughly to integrate the flavor, then distribute evenly across the prepared pan, creating a smooth foundational layer.
- Craft the white chocolate layer by melting white chocolate chips with remaining sweetened condensed milk, using gentle microwave heating and consistent stirring until achieving a glossy texture.
- Incorporate the remaining vanilla extract into the white chocolate mixture, then gently fold in festive Christmas sprinkles, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Delicately spread the white chocolate and sprinkle layer atop the semi-sweet chocolate base, creating a visually appealing two-toned effect.
- Generously garnish the surface with additional Christmas sprinkles for extra visual appeal and texture.
- Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for at least one hour, allowing it to set completely and firm up.
- Once thoroughly set, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper edges, slice into precise square pieces, and serve.
Notes
- Always use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth, even melting and consistent texture throughout the fudge.
- Line the pan carefully with parchment paper, ensuring edges are smooth to create clean, professional-looking fudge squares.
- Microwave chocolate in short bursts to prevent burning, stirring thoroughly between each interval for perfect melting consistency.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for richer flavor and smoother texture, avoiding generic or low-fat alternatives that might compromise taste.
- For gluten-free version, double-check sprinkle ingredients and use certified gluten-free chocolate chips to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Create variations by swapping holiday sprinkles with seasonal colors or adding crushed peppermint for extra festive flair.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
