Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk 1 can
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
- ½ teaspoon green food coloring
- ½ teaspoon Red food coloring
- 2 tablespoons holiday sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Line an 8x8-inch square pan completely with parchment paper, covering the bottom and all sides completely
- In a large microwave safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and peppermint extract.
- Microwave for 30 seconds. Then stir and then heat for an additional 30 seconds and stir again.
- Repeat with one or two more 30 second-intervals, stirring in between eat interval until the chocolate chips have melted. The chips will continue to melt as you stir them. Be very careful not to over heat the chips or they will seize and harden.
- Place ½ cup of fudge mixture in a small bowl and add a 3-4 drops of red food coloring and stir well to combine. It will be thick so stir as quick as you can. Add more food coloring to reach your desired color.
- Place another ½ cup of the fudge mixture into a separate small bowl and add a 2-3 drops of green food coloring and stir to combine well. Add more food coloring to reach your desired color.
- Using a spoon, spread dollops, of each of the colors, all around the prepared pan .
- After all of the fudge is in the pan, and swirl it gently with a spoon or butter knife to create the swirls throughout.
- Top with sprinkles if desired.
- Place the fudge in the refrigerator and for at least 2 hours to set completely.
- Lift the fudge out of the pan by the parchment paper and cut into desired sizes with a sharp knife. For clean cuts, wipe the knife with a paper towel after each cut.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Swap the peppermint extract for mint extract or vanilla extract.
- Top with crushed candy canes or peppermint candies.
- Use this for any holiday by changing up the food coloring. It's great Valentine's Day with pink and red swirls or Easter with light green, light blue and pink or red and blue for Memorial Day the 4th of July!
- You can use this recipe as a base for any fudge. Also swap the white chocolate chips for milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips and just top with any festive sprinkles you'd like.
- Although the butter adds extra creaminess, you can leave it out if you'd like.
- You can also use a double boiler for melting the chocolate chip and condensed milk. Just be sure to not get any water or steam droplets into the mixture or it will cause it to seize and harden and be unusable.
