Ingredients

Scale
    • For the Fudge:
    • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
    • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt

 

  • Optional Festive Add-Ins:
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/3 cup crushed peppermint
  • 1/2 cup holiday sprinkles
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter together, stirring constantly until smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt.
  4. Fold in any desired add-ins such as nuts, peppermint, sprinkles, or marshmallows.
  5. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top evenly.
  6. Add additional sprinkles on top for a festive touch.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  8. Lift fudge out using the parchment overhang and cut into squares.
  9. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy!

Notes

For ultra-smooth fudge, keep the heat low and stir constantly. Try mixing white and dark chocolate for a marbled effect. This fudge stores well in the fridge for up to 2 weeks and makes a great edible holiday gift! Add crushed candy canes for extra Christmas flavor.
