Description

This festive Christmas fudge recipe features creamy white chocolate layered with vibrant red and green hues for a delightful holiday treat. Easy to prepare with simple ingredients and decorated with holiday sprinkles, this marbled fudge is perfect for gifting or sharing at holiday gatherings.


Ingredients

Fudge Ingredients

  • 3 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Red food coloring
  • Green food coloring

Optional Decoration

  • 1/4 cup holiday sprinkles


Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing extra paper to hang over the sides for easy removal of the fudge once set.
  2. Melt ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously over low heat until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract for added flavor.
  3. Color the fudge: Divide the melted mixture evenly into three bowls. Add red food coloring to one bowl, green to another, and leave the third bowl plain for layering.
  4. Layer the fudge: Pour the red fudge into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Next, layer the plain fudge over the red layer, followed by the green fudge on top. Use a knife to gently swirl the layers together creating a marbled effect.
  5. Add sprinkles: While the fudge is still warm, sprinkle the top evenly with holiday-themed sprinkles for festive decoration.
  6. Chill the fudge: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm enough to cut.
  7. Cut and serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into 24 small squares and serve or package for gifting.

Notes

  • Ensure low heat while melting to prevent burning the white chocolate.
  • Swirling the colors gently achieves a marbled look without mixing colors completely.
  • The fudge should be stored refrigerated and consumed within one week for optimal freshness.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk with vegan alternatives.
