Christmas Fudge With Sprinkles (Print Version)

Rich, creamy chocolate fudge topped with festive sprinkles—a quick, crowd-pleasing holiday treat ready in minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (510 g)
02 - 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (397 g)
03 - 4 tbsp unsalted butter (56 g)
04 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

→ Topping

05 - 1/3 cup holiday sprinkles (50 g)

# How to Make It:

01 - Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
02 - In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Stir constantly until completely melted and smooth, about 5 to 7 minutes.
03 - Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the pure vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
04 - Pour the melted fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to smooth the top into an even layer.
05 - Immediately scatter the holiday sprinkles evenly across the surface, gently pressing them down so they adhere to the fudge.
06 - Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is completely set and firm to the touch.
07 - Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting board and cut into 24 even squares. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Three ingredients plus sprinkles and you have something people genuinely fight over at cookie swaps.
  • No candy thermometer, no stress, no praying it sets up correctly, it just works every single time.
02 -
  • If the heat is too high your chocolate will seize into a clumpy grainy mess so keep it low and stay patient.
  • Wet sprinkles will bleed their color into the fudge so make sure your hands and the pan are completely dry before pressing them in.
03 -
  • Stir with a silicone spatula instead of a wooden spoon because it scrapes the bottom cleanly and nothing burns or sticks.
  • A tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on top right before the sprinkles takes this from sweet to absolutely unforgettable.
