Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal later.
- In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine butter and sweetened condensed milk over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Gradually add sugar to the mixture, continuing to stir until the sugar completely dissolves and the mixture becomes smooth and starts to bubble gently.
- Remove the pan from heat and immediately add white chocolate chips, stirring vigorously until the chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Quickly stir in vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to distribute the flavor evenly throughout the fudge.
- Pour the hot fudge mixture into the prepared parchment-lined pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly to the corners.
- Immediately sprinkle colorful Christmas-themed sprinkles across the surface of the fudge, gently pressing them into the top to ensure they adhere.
- Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for approximately 2 hours, or refrigerate for faster setting, until it becomes firm and solid.
- Using the overhanging parchment paper, lift the fudge out of the pan and place on a cutting board.
- Cut the fudge into 24 equal-sized squares using a sharp knife, cleaning the knife between cuts for neat edges.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to ensure even heat distribution and prevent burning.
- Stir constantly while heating to create a smooth, uniform mixture.
- Make sure your white chocolate chips are fresh for the best melting and flavor.
- Work quickly when adding sprinkles to ensure they stick to the warm fudge.
- Use a sharp knife and clean it between cuts for perfectly neat squares.
- For extra festive flair, choose red, green, or holiday-themed sprinkles.
- Allow sufficient cooling time to achieve the perfect fudge consistency.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and texture.
