Relax this holiday season and make this simple 5-ingredient Christmas Fudge in under 10 minutes! No more fussing over a pot of boiling sugar. This Christmas candy is so much easier to make than traditional fudge.<\/span><\/p>\n

The holidays are stressful enough that keeping your fudge-making simple will help you enjoy more time doing other fun holiday activities.<\/p>\n

This fudge is so easy to make. You don't need a candy thermometer. You don't need to stand over a pot of boiling sugar. And you don't have to worry about your fudge crystalizing.<\/p>\n

You simply melt white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk together, then stir in a pinch of salt, to balance the sweetness and a splash of almond extract to make this fudge taste like a creamy version of a Christmas cookie.<\/p>\n

Top the fudge with red, white, and green sprinkles and it's ready to go!<\/p>\n

The sprinkles make this fudge look so festive. I used a combination of red, white, and green Jimmies and confetti sprinkles (the circles) but you can add nonpareils or any shape Christmas sprinkles you like. There are snowflakes, Christmas trees, candy canes, and more.<\/p>\n

how to make Christmas fudge<\/h2>\n

When I set out to create these creamy squares of Christmas Fudge I decided to start with our basic Vanilla Fudge<\/a> recipe which is using white chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.<\/p>\n

To change things up a bit I swapped out the vanilla for a splash of pure almond extract which gives this fudge a flavor reminiscent of my favorite Christmas cut-out cookies.<\/p>\n

If you prefer, you can use peppermint extract<\/a> if you enjoy the cool crisp flavor of mint or use coconut extract<\/a> for a tropical flavor.<\/p>\n

  1. Line an 8-inch square pan with non-stick tin foil or parchment paper. See the video below for a quick and easy trick to neatly lining your pan using tin foil. Be sure to check out our Easy Fudge FAQ<\/a> page for more tips and tricks to making homemade fudge even easier.<\/li>\n
  2. Stir together 20 ounces of white chocolate chips and one (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk in a large microwave-safe bowl and heat at 70% power for 90 seconds. NOTE: If you use using pure white chocolate (bars or chips that contain cocoa butter) increase the amount to 24 ounces.<\/li>\n
  3. Let the bowl rest in the microwave for 3 minutes before stirring. This allows the heat in the bowl to help melt all the chocolate evenly.<\/li>\n
  4. If needed, you can microwave at 70% power for an additional 10-15 seconds until all the chunks of chocolate have melted.\n
      \n
    • Alternatively, you can melt the white chocolate and condensed milk in a saucepan or preferably a double boiler set over low heat on the stove.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n
    • Heat, stirring occasionally until 75% of the chocolate is melted then remove from the heat and let rest for 3 minutes before stirring until melted.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Stir in 1 teaspoon of almond extract and a pinch of salt, to taste.<\/li>\n
    • Pour the fudge into your pan and spread it into an even layer.<\/li>\n
    • Cover the entire surface of the fudge with red, white, and green sprinkles.<\/li>\n
    • Cover with plastic wrap or tin foil and either set aside at room temperature for at least 4 hours until firm or chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours until firm.<\/li>\n
    • Uncover and use the tin foil or parchment paper in the pan to lift the fudge out then peel that off and set the fudge on a cutting board.<\/li>\n
    • Cut the firm fudge into 25 squares.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
