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

(Note: 2x or 3x only changes the ingredient list)

Help Us Out!If you love a recipe, be sure to come back and share your ratings. This helps future users, and allows me to continue sharing free recipes! Angela

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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

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.
