1. Can I use different types of chocolate for Christmas fudge?

Yes! Feel free to swap the semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate chips, depending on your personal preference. You can also use peppermint extract in the semi-sweet layer for a festive minty twist.

2. How long does this Christmas fudge last?

The fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2–3 weeks, keeping its rich and creamy texture intact. If you plan on storing it longer, consider freezing it.

3. Can I make Christmas fudge without sweetened condensed milk?

Sweetened condensed milk is key to creating the smooth and creamy texture of this fudge. If you need a dairy-free version, look for plant-based sweetened condensed milk alternatives.

Instructions

Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 7 oz of sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until the chocolate has fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir in 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly using a spatula.
In a separate bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and remaining 7 oz of sweetened condensed milk in the same manner. Stir in the remaining 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
Spread the white chocolate mixture on top of the semi-sweet chocolate layer.
Sprinkle festive nonpareil sprinkles over the top layer.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until the fudge is firm and set.
Once set, remove from the pan, slice into squares, and enjoy.

Notes

Ensure the fudge sets completely in the fridge for at least 1 hour before slicing.
Work quickly while spreading the fudge to avoid it setting before you’re done.
This recipe can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
If you’d like a minty twist, add peppermint extract to the semi-sweet chocolate layer.
