Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- Green food coloring (about 10-15 drops or until desired shade)
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
Topping
- Red heart sprinkles (about 2 tbsp)
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang to easily lift the fudge out later.
- Combine Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.
- Microwave and Stir: Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes total.
- Add Flavor and Color: Stir in the green food coloring and peppermint extract until evenly combined, achieving the characteristic bright green color.
- Pour Mixture: Pour the green fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the red heart sprinkles evenly over the top to create a festive look reminiscent of The Grinch.
- Chill and Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is completely set and firm.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper overhang, cut into 12 equal squares, and enjoy your festive treat!
Notes
- Be careful not to overheat the white chocolate in the microwave to prevent burning; stir well between intervals.
- Adjust the amount of green food coloring to get your preferred shade.
- For a stronger peppermint flavor, you can add a little extra peppermint extract, but do so sparingly as it can be overpowering.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- This fudge can also be cut into smaller pieces for bite-sized treats.
