Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Mixture
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- Green food coloring, as needed
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
Toppings
- Red heart sprinkles, for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy removal of the fudge.
- Melt Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Add Flavor and Color: Stir green food coloring and peppermint extract into the melted mixture until the color and flavor are evenly distributed.
- Pour Mixture: Pour the green fudge mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, spreading it smooth with a spatula.
- Decorate: Sprinkle red heart shaped sprinkles evenly over the top to create a festive look.
- Chill: Place the baking pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is fully set and firm.
- Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper, cut into 12 squares, and enjoy your festive Grinch Fudge!
Notes
- Be careful not to overheat the white chocolate chips in the microwave to avoid burning. Stirring frequently helps prevent hot spots.
- You can adjust the green food coloring to achieve your preferred shade of green for the fudge.
- For a stronger peppermint flavor, you can add a little more peppermint extract, but be cautious as it can overpower the fudge.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- Let the fudge sit at room temperature a few minutes before serving if it becomes too firm from refrigeration.
