Christmas Fudge With Sprinkles (Printable)

Rich, creamy chocolate fudge topped with festive sprinkles—a quick holiday treat for Christmas gatherings.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Base

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

→ Topping

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

# Directions:

01 - Line an 8x8-inch 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 unsalted butter. Stir constantly until completely melted and smooth, about 8 to 10 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 smooth the top evenly using a spatula.
05 - Immediately scatter the holiday sprinkles over the surface, gently pressing them in so they adhere to the fudge.
06 - Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm and set.
07 - Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 24 even squares using a sharp knife. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Three ingredients and ten minutes of stirring are all that stand between you and the creamiest fudge you have ever made.
  • No candy thermometer, no stress about soft ball stages, just melt, stir, and chill your way to something people will assume took far more effort.
02 -
  • Keep the heat genuinely low because scorched chocolate cannot be saved and will ruin the entire batch with a single distracted minute.
  • The fudge is at its most sliceable after a full two hour chill, but if you can wait overnight the texture becomes impossibly creamy.
03 -
  • Wet your knife blade with warm water and dry it between each cut for bakery style squares that look as good as they taste.
  • Do not walk away from the stove even for a moment because the window between perfectly melted and tragically burnt is shockingly narrow.
