Ingredients:
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Red and green food coloring
- 1/4 cup holiday sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pan:
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Leave some extra paper hanging over the edges for easy fudge removal once itโs set.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.
- Stir constantly over low heat until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Color the Fudge:
- Divide the melted chocolate mixture evenly into three separate bowls.
- In one bowl, add a few drops of red food coloring and stir until you reach the desired shade.
- In the second bowl, add green food coloring and mix well.
- Leave the third bowl plain.
- Layer the Fudge:
- Pour the red fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Next, pour the plain fudge mixture over the red layer and spread it evenly.
- Finally, layer the green fudge on top.
- For a festive marbled effect, gently swirl a knife through all three layers.
- Add Sprinkles:
- While the fudge is still warm, sprinkle holiday-themed sprinkles on top to add a touch of sparkle.
- Chill:
- Place the fudge in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Once itโs set, use the parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut it into small squares.
