Christmas Fudge With Sprinkles (Print)

Creamy chocolate fudge with festive sprinkles, perfect for holiday celebrations and gift-giving.

# Ingredient list:

→ Chocolate Base

01 - 3 cups (510 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
02 - 1 can (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
03 - 4 tbsp (56 g) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
04 - 1 tsp vanilla extract

→ Topping

05 - 1/3 cup (45 g) holiday sprinkles

# Directions:

01 - Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
02 - In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet 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 - Sprinkle the holiday sprinkles evenly over the surface, gently pressing them into the fudge so they adhere.
06 - Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is fully set and firm to the touch.
07 - Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into 25 even squares and serve.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It takes almost zero effort but looks like you spent hours, which is honestly the best kind of recipe.
  • The texture is impossibly smooth and creamy, and people always assume you used a candy thermometer when you didnt.
  • Kids lose their minds over the sprinkles, and adults secretly do too.
02 -
  • If the heat is too high while melting, the chocolate will seize into a grainy, unspreadable clump, so keep it low and be patient even when it feels like nothing is happening.
  • Condensed milk and evaporated milk are completely different things and using the wrong one will leave you with a runny, sad puddle.
03 -
  • Wet your knife under hot water and dry it between each cut for perfectly clean squares that look like they came from a bakery.
  • Take the fudge out of the fridge about 15 minutes before serving so it softens slightly and the flavor opens up on your tongue.
