Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (525 g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 oz / 400 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • ¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract (optional)
  • Holiday sprinkles or crushed candy canes (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan:
    • Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt the fudge mixture:
    • In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir constantly until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract (and peppermint extract if using).
  3. Pour and spread:
    • Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  4. Decorate:
    • Immediately sprinkle holiday sprinkles or crushed candy canes on top, pressing them gently into the fudge to adhere.
  5. Chill:
    • Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm enough to slice.
  6. Cut and serve:
    • Use the parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into small squares and enjoy!


Notes

  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Use white chocolate or dark chocolate chips for variety.
