Christmas Fudge With Sprinkles (Printable Version)

Rich, creamy chocolate fudge topped with festive holiday sprinkles for Christmas gatherings.

# Ingredient List:

→ Base

01 - 3 cups (510 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
02 - 1 can (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
03 - 4 tablespoons (56 g) unsalted butter
04 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Topping

05 - 1/3 cup (50 g) holiday sprinkles

# How to Make:

01 - Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on the sides to easily lift the fudge out once set.
02 - In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is completely melted and smooth, about 5 to 7 minutes.
03 - Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the pure vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
04 - Pour the melted fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to smooth the top into an even layer.
05 - Immediately scatter the holiday sprinkles evenly across the surface, gently pressing them down so they adhere to the fudge.
06 - Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is completely firm to the touch.
07 - Lift the fudge slab out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting board and cut into 24 even squares using a sharp knife. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Three ingredients and ten minutes of stirring are all that stand between you and the creamiest fudge you have ever tasted.
  • The sprinkles turn an already gorgeous slab of chocolate into something kids and adults alike cannot resist grabbing.
02 -
  • Keep the heat low and stir the entire time because scorched chocolate will ruin the whole batch and there is no fixing it.
  • Do not skip the parchment paper overhang or you will be chiseling fudge out of the pan with a butter knife at midnight.
03 -
  • Use a silicone spatula for stirring because it scrapes the bottom of the pan better than anything else and prevents hot spots.
  • Taste your chocolate chips before you start because bland chocolate makes bland fudge no matter what else you add.
