Christmas Chocolate Fudge With Sprinkles (Printable)

Rich, creamy chocolate fudge topped with colorful holiday sprinkles. A quick no-bake treat perfect for festive celebrations.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chocolate Base

01 - 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
02 - 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
03 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Topping

05 - 1/3 cup holiday sprinkles

# Directions:

01 - Line an 8-inch square 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 butter pieces. Stir constantly until fully melted and smooth, about 4 to 5 minutes.
03 - Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract until evenly incorporated.
04 - Immediately pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to smooth the top into an even layer.
05 - Scatter the holiday sprinkles evenly across the surface, then gently press them into the fudge so they adhere.
06 - Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is completely firm to the touch.
07 - Lift the fudge slab out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Place on a cutting board and slice into 25 even squares. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under twenty minutes of active work, which means you can make it while the cookie exchange cookies are baking and still have energy left to wrap presents.
  • The texture is silky and melt in your mouth soft, nothing like the grainy or crumbly fudge that turns people away from homemade candy.
  • Kids lose their minds over the sprinkles and adults secretly do too, making it the rare dessert that honestly pleases every single person at the table.
02 -
  • Keep the heat low and stir the entire time because scorched chocolate cannot be saved and it happens faster than you think.
  • Press the sprinkles in gently but firmly because if they just sit on the surface they will roll right off when you cut the fudge into squares.
03 -
  • Use a cold knife to cut the fudge by running it under cold water and drying it between each cut, which gives you perfectly clean edges without tearing.
  • Let the fudge sit at room temperature for about ten minutes before cutting because fully chilled fudge can crack instead of slice cleanly.
