Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- Green food coloring, as needed
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
Toppings
- Red heart sprinkles, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make it easy to lift the fudge out once set.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Add Color and Flavor: Stir in green food coloring gradually until you achieve a vibrant green shade, then add the peppermint extract and mix thoroughly to distribute the flavor evenly.
- Pour the Mixture: Pour the green fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface.
- Decorate: Sprinkle red heart sprinkles evenly over the top for a festive look.
- Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until completely set and firm to the touch.
- Serve: Remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper edges, cut into squares, and enjoy your festive Grinch Fudge!
Notes
- Use good quality white chocolate chips for a smoother texture and richer flavor.
- You can adjust the amount of peppermint extract to taste, starting with 1 teaspoon and adding more if desired.
- Make sure to stir thoroughly between microwaving intervals to prevent the chocolate from burning.
- If you don’t have parchment paper, grease the pan well to prevent sticking.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the white chocolate chips and condensed milk with vegan alternatives.
