Christmas Chocolate Fudge With Sprinkles (Printable)

Creamy no-bake chocolate fudge topped with festive sprinkles, perfect for holiday gatherings and gift-giving.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chocolate Base

01 - 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
02 - 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
03 - 4 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
04 - 1 tsp 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 the 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 completely melted and smooth.
03 - Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
04 - Immediately pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to smooth the top into an even layer.
05 - Sprinkle the holiday sprinkles evenly across the surface of the fudge, gently pressing them in so they adhere.
06 - Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is fully set and firm to the touch.
07 - Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting board and slice into 25 even squares. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It requires exactly five minutes at the stove and zero candy thermometers, which means anyone can pull it off without stress.
  • The sprinkles on top turn something wonderfully simple into a festive showpiece that disappears fast at any gathering.
02 -
  • Keep the heat low and stir the entire time because scorched chocolate cannot be saved and will ruin the whole batch with a single distracted moment.
  • Press the sprinkles in before the fudge cools or they will simply roll right off when you try to cut it later.
03 -
  • Do not rush the chilling step because cutting warm fudge will give you jagged messy squares that never look as polished on a plate.
  • Double the recipe and use a 9 by 13 inch pan if you are feeding a crowd, as one 8 inch pan disappears faster than you expect.
