Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces / 396 grams) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 cups (360 milliliters) chopped red and green gumdrops
Flavoring Ingredient:
- 1 1/2 teaspoons (7.5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Create a protective lining for a 9×9-inch baking vessel using aluminum foil or parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage of the base and sides.
- Select a medium-sized saucepan and position it over gentle heat, combining velvety white chocolate chips with sweet condensed milk and aromatic vanilla extract.
- Maintain constant stirring while the ingredients melt, watching carefully to achieve a silky, uniform consistency without scorching.
- Withdraw the saucepan from heat source and gently incorporate vibrant, chopped gumdrops throughout the molten mixture, distributing them evenly.
- Transfer the glossy confection into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread and level the surface with precision.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator, allowing the fudge to solidify and develop its signature texture for a minimum of two hours or ideally overnight.
- Once completely set, carefully extract the fudge from the pan using the protective lining as handles.
- Using a sharp knife, trim the outer edges to create clean lines and slice into petite, uniform squares.
- Arrange the delectable bites on a serving platter, ready to delight guests with their festive charm and sweet complexity.
Notes
- Select soft, fresh gumdrops for better texture and easier mixing into the fudge.
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips to ensure a smoother, creamier consistency.
- Consider using silicone baking mats instead of foil for easier removal and no sticking.
- Experiment with different gumdrop flavors to create unique taste combinations in your fudge.
