Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- Green food coloring, as needed to achieve desired color
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
Toppings
- Red heart sprinkles, for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the fudge once set.
- Melt Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth without lumps.
- Add Flavor and Color: Stir in green food coloring gradually until the desired Grinch green color is achieved. Then add the peppermint extract and mix well to incorporate the flavor evenly.
- Set the Fudge: Pour the green fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to create a uniform layer.
- Decorate: Sprinkle red heart sprinkles on top evenly, adding a festive contrast to the green fudge.
- Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is completely set and firm.
- Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper, cut into 12 equal squares, and enjoy your delightful Grinch-themed treat.
Notes
- Make sure to stir the chocolate mixture well between microwave intervals to prevent burning and ensure smooth texture.
- You can adjust the amount of peppermint extract based on your taste preference.
- If you don’t have green food coloring, you can use natural alternatives like spinach powder to achieve the color.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Allow fudge to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor.
