Fun Fudge Flavors For Christmas
Fudge comes in just about any flavor you can imagine. Get creative this Christmas and try something new like chocolate frosting fudge or Grinch fudge!
1. Chocolate Frosting Fudge
If you've never made fudge, this recipe is hard to mess up! All you need is 2 ingredients (chocolate chips and chocolate frosting), a mixing bowl, a baking dish, and a microwave.
You'll be surprised at just how rich and chocolatey it is. Especially because it's so easy!
2. Microwave Peanut Butter Fudge
Whip up a batch of this creamy peanut butter fudge for Christmas this year! You only need 4 ingredients, though you can add roasted peanuts for texture if you like.
Pop it in the microwave for 1 minute, then let it chill and set it for 1 hour. That's all there is to it!
3. Christmas fudge
My Christmas fudge is rich and indulgent just like fudge should be! You need just 4 ingredients and 5 minutes of prep time, then you pop it in the fridge for an hour and it's ready to eat.
You can use your favorite Christmas-colored sprinkles to decorate. They are a great inexpensive gift for neighbors and coworkers during the holidays!
4. Hot Chocolate Fudge
If you could take a bite of hot chocolate, this is what it would taste like! These layered fudge bars have a chocolate base with hot chocolate powder mixed right in.
The top layer is rich and creamy white chocolate complete with a 3rd layer of mini marshmallows to finish it all off!
5. Gingerbread Fudge
Everyone loves gingerbread cookies, so why not gingerbread fudge? It's made by combining simple ingredients like molasses, instant vanilla pudding, and white chocolate with ground ginger, cinnamon, and powdered sugar.
Top it all off with some red and green sprinkles and you have a beautiful gingerbread fudge that's worth sharing.
6. Candy Cane Fudge
Candy cane fudge decorates itself! The crushed candy canes add flavor and crunch to the fudge but they add a festive decorative element as well.
A touch of peppermint extract gives the fudge a minty flavor. Stir in some green or red food coloring to give it some extra color!

7. Maple Walnut Fudge
As long as you have a candy thermometer, this maple nut fudge is not hard at all! It's very rich and sweet with lots of flavor from real maple syrup.
The walnuts add a pleasant crunch to this quick and easy fudge.
8. White Chocolate Cranberry Fudge
This creamy white chocolate fudge is speckled with chunks of cranberries! The berries add a juicy and slightly tart flavor that helps balance the sugary fudge.
It only requires 3 ingredients and can be made on the stovetop or in the microwave!
9. Butter Pecan Fudge
Butter pecan fudge is always a hit at any holiday get-together. The buttery flavor of the fudge is enhanced by the nutty crunch of toasted pecans.
It has a fantastic caramel flavor that makes it hard to put down!
10. S’mores Fudge
I love s'mores and all things s'mores flavored! The winning flavor combination of marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers is always delicious- especially in fudge!
There are bits of marshmallow scattered throughout the fudge which is sandwiched between two layers of crumbled graham crackers. Yum!

11. Snickerdoodle Fudge
Snickerdoodle cookies are a Christmas classic and this fudge has the same cinnamon sugar flavor. It's soft and creamy with cinnamon sugar both inside the fudge and sprinkled on top!
The base is made with marshmallow fluff, white chocolate, and evaporated milk. You will need a candy thermometer, but it isn't too hard to make!
12. Sugar Cookie Fudge
This fudge has a sweet surprise inside! The fudge is white chocolate, but it is filled with chunks of sugar cookie dough.
Red and green sprinkles give this fudge a fun pop of color that screams Christmastime!
13. Oreo Cookie Fudge
If you love cookies & cream, you will thoroughly enjoy this Oreo fudge. The fudge itself is white chocolate but there are chunks of real Oreo cookie in every bite!
Chunks of Oreo are even pressed into the top of the fudge before it sets. This fudge is a cookie lover's dream!

14. Brown Sugar Fudge
This 4-ingredient fudge will satisfy any sweet tooth. All you need to make brown sugar fudge is brown sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and vanilla, that's all!
It has a light caramelized flavor that is hard to resist. From start to finish, you can have this fudge ready in just 40 minutes!
15. Caramel Apple Fudge
Caramel apples are one of my favorite winter treats and this fudge more than satisfies that craving. Chunks of apple are scattered throughout the fudge which is rich with dulce de leche flavor.
It only takes 10 minutes to make this quick fudge, then you let it chill for 2 hours, and voila!
16. Grinch Fudge
These adorable green fudge bars feature a red heart in honor of the Grinch whose heart grew 3 sizes at Christmastime. All you need is 4 ingredients and a few minutes of your time.
Don't worry, they aren't 'green flavored'. They are white chocolate! Gift these cute fudge bars to your family or friends and their hearts may grow 3 sizes, too!
17. Eggnog Fudge
If you've waited all year for eggnog to hit the shelves, then you will surely love this festive fudge recipe! Eggnog fudge is made with marshmallow fluff and heavy cream, so it's extra smooth and creamy with chopped walnuts mixed in for a little crunch.

📋 Recipe
Best Christmas Fudge Recipes: Christmas Fudge with Sprinkles (+More Tasty Fudge Flavors!)
Ingredients
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (mini, or dark chocolate chips)
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- To get started, line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper and lightly spritz it with nonstick cooking spray, allowing some of the paper to hang over the edges so you can easily remove the fudge.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, add your sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips.14 oz sweetened condensed milk, 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Microwave on high power for 30 seconds, and then stir. Continue to microwave the chocolate in 15-second increments, stirring in between each session until the chocolate has melted.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pour the fudge into the prepared dish and use an offset spatula or knife to smooth out the top.
- Add your Christmas sprinkles evenly over the top of the fudge.2 tablespoon Christmas sprinkles
- Transfer the dish to the refrigerator and allow it to set for at least one hour.
- Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish and slice it evenly into squares before serving.
Equipment You May Need
Notes
- You can choose to use any kind of chocolate chips you like! I used semi-sweet, but dark chocolate is a great option, too.
- I used mini chocolate chips because they melt so easily!
- If you like, you can always mix in ¾ cup of your favorite kind of nuts like walnuts, pecans, or peanuts!
- You can use any of your favorite Christmas-themed sprinkles to add some festive touches!
- To Store: Keep any leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Storing fudge in the fridge (after initially setting the fudge) will result in dry, crumbly fudge that is simply not as delicious as it could be.
- To Freeze: This fudge can also be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. I recommend wrapping your individual pieces with waxed paper, then with a layer of cling film before storing.
