🍫 Ingredient Notes

This sweet holiday treat is made with simple ingredients that you can easily find at your local grocery store. To make this easy recipe, you will need:

• Chocolate chips. I used milk chocolate chips, but you could use dark chocolate chips. If you would like white chocolate fudge, you can use white chocolate chips.
• Marshmallow creme. This is found at your grocery store and is the secret ingredient in this easy recipe.
• Nuts. I used walnuts, but you can use your favorite nut, or omit them altogether.

⏲️ How to make Christmas Fudge

Step 1: Combine sugar and milk. Place white sugar and the evaporated milk in a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, and boil for 9 minutes exactly.

Step 2: Prep the pan. Line two 9 x 9 pans with parchment paper or wax paper. Make the paper long so you can tuck it underneath the pan so it doesn't get in your way. You can also line a baking pan with parchment paper (a jelly roll pan - 10.5 x 15.5 inches).Alternatively, you can also use aluminum foil sprayed with cooking spray instead of paper.

Step 3: Melt chocolate. Turn the heat down to low, and add the chocolate chips, marshmallow creme, and butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.

Step 4: Add nuts. Remove from heat and mix in vanilla extract and nuts. Stir with a rubber spatula until well incorporated.

Step 5: Pour in pan. Working quickly before the fudge cools, pour the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle reserved crushed walnuts or festive sprinkles over the top of the fudge.

Step 6: Cool. The fudge will cool at room temperature in about 3 hours. However, I suggest placing the fudge in the refrigerator to cool completely; which will be completely set in 1-2 hours.

Step 7: Cut and serve. Remove the fudge from the pan by lifting it out using the overhang of parchment paper. Place on a cutting board, and cut it into 1-inch pieces with a sharp knife and serve.

Enjoy!

Merry Christmas!

💭 Expert Tips

• Mix the chocolate chip mixture until all the chocolate chips are melted, and it is one solid color.
• Add any toppings before placing the fudge in the fridge to cool.
• I recommend storing the fudge in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to use.
