Christmas Fudge With Sprinkles (Printable)
Creamy no-bake chocolate fudge with festive sprinkles, perfect for holiday celebrations and gift-giving.
# What You Need:
→ Chocolate Base
01 - 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
02 - 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
03 - 4 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
04 - 1 tsp 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 semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir constantly until completely melted and smooth, about 5 minutes.
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 and smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
05 - Sprinkle the holiday sprinkles evenly across the surface, gently pressing them into the fudge so they adhere.
06 - Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge 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 Suggestions:
01 -
- It requires zero baking and only about fifteen minutes of actual work, which means more time for everything else on your holiday list.
- The texture is impossibly smooth and creamy, nothing like the grainy fudge from mall kiosks.
02 -
- Keep the heat low and stir constantly because scorched chocolate cannot be saved and will ruin the entire batch.
- Do not skip the parchment paper or you will be chiseling fudge out of the pan with a butter knife at midnight.
03 -
- Let the fudge sit at room temperature for ten minutes before cutting so the knife glides through instead of cracking the surface.
- Wet your knife blade under warm water and dry it between each cut for bakery perfect squares every time.
