How long does Christmas Fudge stay fresh?

When stored in an airtight container in the fridge, Christmas Fudge stays perfect for up to three weeks. The flavor even improves slightly as it rests.

Can I make Christmas Fudge ahead of time?

Absolutely. This fudge freezes well for up to three months. Wrap tightly and thaw overnight in the refrigerator for best results.

Why didn’t my fudge set properly?

Improper ratios or too little chilling are the usual culprits. Always use the full amount of sweetened condensed milk and chill until firm before slicing.

Can I add other flavors to Christmas Fudge?

Yes. Almond, orange, or peppermint extracts add festive notes. Just substitute a small amount for the vanilla extract in either layer.

How do I get clean slices?

Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between cuts. This helps glide through the chilled fudge cleanly without tearing.

Ingredients

6 oz (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
6 oz (170 g) white chocolate chips
14 oz (397 g) sweetened condensed milk, divided (7 oz for each layer)
2 tsp vanilla extract, divided (1 tsp for each layer)
2 tbsp Christmas sprinkles, plus extra for topping
Optional: 1/2–1 tsp peppermint extract for the chocolate layer

Instructions

Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper and lightly coat it with nonstick spray.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips and 7 oz sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and melted.
Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract and optional peppermint extract. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan to form the base layer.
In a clean bowl, combine 6 oz white chocolate chips with 7 oz sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract and fold in 2 tbsp Christmas sprinkles. Gently spread this mixture over the chocolate layer.
Top with extra sprinkles for decoration. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Once set, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment edges and cut into 1-inch squares with a sharp knife. Serve or store as desired.

Notes

Use high-quality chocolate chips for the smoothest texture.
Work quickly when layering to ensure even spreading before the chocolate sets.
To cut clean squares, warm a sharp knife under hot water and wipe between slices.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
