Ingredients

  • 3 ¾ cups (24oz) white chocolate chips
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz can)

  3. Step 3: Stir in the vanilla extract and ¼ cup of sprinkles. Quickly transfer the mixture to the lined pan and spread it evenly.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle the remaining sprinkles on top of the fudge and gently press them into the surface.

Tips & Variations

  • Try adding chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra texture and flavor.
  • Swap sprinkles for crushed peppermint candies to give it a festive twist.
  • Use dark or milk chocolate chips instead of white chocolate for a different flavor.

Storage

Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to two weeks. If refrigerated, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture.

FAQs

Can I make this fudge without a microwave?

Yes, you can melt the white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk using a double boiler on the stove. Stir gently until smooth and continue with the recipe as usual.

Will the fudge melt if left out?

The fudge can soften at warm room temperatures, so it’s best to store it in a cool place or the refrigerator to keep it firm, especially during warmer months.

Description

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ¾ cups (24 oz) white chocolate chips
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sprinkles (divided into ¼ cup for mixing and ¼ cup for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9 inch square pan with parchment paper that covers the sides completely. This will make it easier to remove the fudge once set.
  2. Heat Ingredients: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir thoroughly to help melt the chocolate chips. If the mixture is not fully smooth, microwave in additional 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Add Flavor and Mix-Ins: Stir in the vanilla extract and ¼ cup of the sprinkles quickly to incorporate them evenly throughout the fudge mixture.
  4. Transfer to Pan: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface.
  5. Top with Sprinkles: Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of sprinkles over the top of the fudge, gently pressing them into the surface so they stick as the fudge sets.
  6. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the fudge until it is completely cool and firm, typically about 2 to 3 hours.
  7. Cut and Store: Once firm, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper and cut into squares. Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Microwave times may vary; adjust as needed to avoid burning the chocolate.
  • Using parchment paper that extends above the pan sides helps remove the fudge easily.
