Servings: 36
Equipment
Ingredients
For Semi-Sweet Chocolate Layer
- 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk (half a can)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For White Chocolate Layer
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Christmas nonpareils or sprinkles
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Place 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heat-safe medium bowl and add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted. Once the chocolate is melted, stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Spread the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Allow that mixture to chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is just set to the touch.
- Once the semi-sweet chocolate layer of fudge has been set up, prepare the white chocolate layer. Place 1 cup white chocolate chips in a heat-safe medium bowl and add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted. Once the chocolate is melted, stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the white chocolate layer over the chocolate layer of fudge, using an offset spatula to spread if needed. Immediately sprinkle with nonpareils of choice.
- Cover the pan with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate until the fudge is set, 2-3 hours. I find overnight is best, in terms of flavor and firmness of the fudge.
- Once set, remove the fudge, using the parchment paper from the pan cut it into 1-inch pieces.
Notes
White Chocolate: Look for white chocolate that contains actual cocoa butter, not just palm oil or coconut oil, to ensure creamy, smooth results.
Sprinkles: Feel free to use any holiday sprinkles you like.
Storage: Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Do not freeze.
