Christmas Fudge With Sprinkles (Print Version)
Rich, creamy chocolate fudge topped with colorful holiday sprinkles for a festive sweet treat.
# What You Need:
→ Chocolate Base
01 - 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
02 - 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
03 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Topping
05 - 1/3 cup holiday sprinkles
# How to Make It:
01 - Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
02 - In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir constantly until completely melted and smooth.
03 - Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
04 - Immediately pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula.
05 - Scatter the holiday sprinkles evenly across the surface, gently pressing them into the fudge so they adhere.
06 - Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is completely firm and set.
07 - Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 25 even squares and serve.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- It takes almost no effort but looks like you spent hours, which is the best kind of holiday magic.
- The texture stays impossibly creamy thanks to sweetened condensed milk doing all the heavy lifting.
02 -
- If the heat is too high the chocolate will seize into a grainy, dull mess, so keep it low and stay patient.
- Pressing sprinkles in gently instead of just tossing them on top keeps them from sliding off when you cut the fudge later.
03 -
- Wipe your knife with a warm, damp cloth between each cut for perfectly clean edges that look like they came from a candy shop.
- Check your sprinkle ingredients before buying because some brands contain unexpected allergens hidden in the coloring agents.
