Prep Time: 10 minutes
Chill Time: 2 hours
Servings: 16 squares
- Ingredients :
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup butter (cut into pieces)
1 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Festive sprinkles or crushed candy canes for decorating (optional)
- Instructions :
Melt the chocolate: In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir over low heat until everything is melted and smooth. Add a pinch of salt and vanilla extract, and stir to combine.
Pour and set: Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to easily lift the fudge out later. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Decorate: While the fudge is still warm, sprinkle your festive toppings – red and green sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or even a dusting of powdered sugar for that classic Christmas vibe.
Chill & slice: Place the fudge in the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut it into squares.
Here are some tips to help you make the perfect Classic Christmas Fudge :
Use Quality Ingredients: Choose high-quality chocolate and fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. It makes a noticeable difference in the richness of the fudge.
Line Your Pan with Parchment: Before pouring in the fudge mixture, line your pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean-cut squares.
Watch the Temperature: Use a candy thermometer if you can; heating the mixture to the right temperature (about 234°F/112°C) helps achieve the perfect smooth consistency. Avoid overcooking, as it can make the fudge crumbly.
Stir Carefully: Stir gently and constantly to prevent burning. Over-stirring, especially as the mixture cools, can cause it to harden too quickly.
Let It Set at Room Temperature: Allow your fudge to set at room temperature rather than in the fridge. This helps keep it creamy and prevents it from drying out.
Cut with a Warm Knife: Dip your knife in hot water and dry it off before slicing for clean, smooth pieces.
Add Your Favorite Toppings: Customize with festive toppings like crushed peppermint, sea salt, or nuts for added flavor and a Christmas touch.
These tips will help you make a delicious, beautifully textured Christmas fudge that everyone will love!
