Ingredients
Scale
For the Base Layers
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, divided
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the White Chocolate Swirl Layer
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Red and green food coloring (gel works best)
For Toppings (Optional)
- Crushed candy canes
- Festive sprinkles
- Edible glitter
- Mini marshmallows
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Pan
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper with non-stick spray or butter.
Step 2: Make the Chocolate Base Layer
- In a medium saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk, and 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared pan, spreading it out with a spatula.
Step 3: Prepare the White Chocolate Swirl
- In a separate saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, the remaining sweetened condensed milk, and 1 tablespoon of butter. Heat over low heat, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Divide the melted white chocolate into three bowls. Leave one bowl white, and color the others with red and green food coloring, stirring until the colors are vibrant.
Step 4: Create the Swirls
- Spoon the white, red, and green melted chocolate randomly over the chocolate base.
- Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the colors together, creating a marbled effect. Work quickly before the chocolate begins to set.
Step 5: Add Toppings
- Sprinkle crushed candy canes, festive sprinkles, or edible glitter over the top of the fudge for added texture and holiday flair.
Step 6: Chill and Set
- Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for 2-3 hours, or until the fudge is firm.
Step 7: Slice and Serve
- Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 36 squares using a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts for neat edges.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
