🥣Ingredient Notes
- White chocolate chips or candy melts - My favorite chips are these Ghiradelli White Chocolate Chips.
- Condensed milk - Provides a creamy texture and milky flavor to the fudge.
- Holiday sprinkles - Add a festive touch of color to the fudge.
📋Step by Step Instructions
STEP 1: Pour the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk into a large microwave-safe bowl. I love these bowls from CorningWare.
STEP 2: To melt the chips, microwave for 60 seconds and stir. Continue to microwave for 15 seconds at a time, removing to stir in-between heating until all the chips are melted.
STEP 3: Stir in ¼ cup of sprinkles.
STEP 4: Pour the fudge mixture into an 8-inch by 8-inch square pan that has been prepared with parchment paper. Spread evenly so the fudge is leveled.
STEP 5: Sprinkle ¼ cup of sprinkles on top of the fudge.
STEP 6: Cover the fudge and refrigerate for 2 hours until the fudge has set.
STEP 7: When the Christmas fudge recipe is ready, you can pull it up from the baking dish using the parchment to lift it from the pan and cut it into 25 square pieces.

🤷🏻♀️Recipe FAQs
