Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 14 oz 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 festive Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the fudge.
- Melt Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each burst until the mixture is completely smooth and the chocolate is fully melted.
- Add Vanilla: Stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract until it is well incorporated into the smooth chocolate mixture.
- Pour and Decorate: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula, then sprinkle 2 to 3 tablespoons of festive Christmas sprinkles over the top for a colorful and decorative finish.
- Chill to Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for approximately 2 hours or until the fudge has fully set and is firm to the touch.
- Slice and Serve: Remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment or foil. Trim the edges if desired, then cut the fudge into about 36 small, bite-sized pieces for serving.
Notes
- Use good quality semi-sweet chocolate chips for the best flavor and smooth texture.
- Microwave times may vary; stir frequently to prevent burning.
- You can substitute butter with margarine to make it dairy-free though this may alter texture slightly.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- To make cleanup easier, refrigerate the fudge in the pan lined with foil or parchment paper.
