With layers of rich chocolate and smooth white fudge, swirled with Christmas colors and topped with candy sprinkles, it’s a showstopper for parties, cookie trays, or homemade gifts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups white chocolate chips

  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

  • ½ tsp peppermint extract

  • Red and green gel food coloring

  • ¼ cup mini holiday sprinkles

  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional bottom layer)


Instructions

  • Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

  • In a saucepan, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Melt over low heat, stirring until smooth.

  • Remove from heat and stir in peppermint extract.

  • Divide mixture into three bowls—leave one plain, tint one red, and one green.

  • Drop spoonfuls of each color into the prepared pan and swirl with a knife for a marbled effect.

  • Sprinkle with mini candies or pearls on top.

  • Chill for at least 2 hours or until firm.

 

  • Cut into small squares and serve!


Notes

For a layered fudge, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips first, spread into the pan, and let set before adding the peppermint layer.

Store fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks

Freeze for up to 3 months for make-ahead gifting.
