Ingredients
Fudge Base
- 3 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
Topping
- 1 cup Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper and spray the dish with cooking spray before placing the parchment inside. This prevents the fudge from sticking and keeps the parchment secure.
- Secure Parchment Paper: Press down the parchment so it adheres to the pan, avoiding movement when pouring the fudge mixture.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium pot over medium heat, combine white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, molasses, light brown sugar, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and all the spices (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, cloves).
- Melt and Stir: Continuously stir the mixture over medium heat until all ingredients are melted, and the fudge mixture is smooth and evenly combined without lumps.
- Pour Mixture: Pour the hot fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to create a smooth surface.
- Add Sprinkles: Sprinkle the Christmas sprinkles evenly over the top of the fudge and gently press them into the surface so they stick well.
Notes
- Use good quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture.
- Ensure continuous stirring to avoid burning the fudge while melting on the stovetop.
- You can substitute Christmas sprinkles with chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips for variety.
- Allow the fudge to cool completely in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares to ensure proper setting.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
