Fudge Ingredients
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups chocolate chips (semisweet or milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup colorful sprinkles (plus extra for topping)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper to prevent the fudge from sticking and allow easy removal once set.
- Melt Milk and Butter: Place the sweetened condensed milk and unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and combined, taking care not to overheat.
- Add Chocolate and Flavor: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until fully melted into a smooth mixture. Then add the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly for enhanced flavor.
- Mix in Sprinkles: While the fudge mixture is still warm, fold in half of the colorful sprinkles gently to distribute them evenly without melting the colors.
- Transfer to Dish and Top: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining colorful sprinkles over the top for a decorative finish.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the fudge for about 2 hours or until firm. Once set, use the parchment paper to lift the fudge from the dish, cut into squares, and serve.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to ensure easy removal and clean-up.
- You can substitute chocolate chips with any preferred chocolate type like white or dark chocolate.
- For a firmer fudge, refrigerate longer or freeze briefly before cutting.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Sprinkles add festive color but feel free to omit or substitute with chopped nuts for added texture.
