Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. 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.
  2. Secure Parchment Paper: Press down the parchment so it adheres to the pan, avoiding movement when pouring the fudge mixture.
  3. 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).
  4. 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.
  5. Pour Mixture: Pour the hot fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to create a smooth surface.
  6. 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.
