    Perfect Christmas Treat

    Fudge makes the perfect Christmas treat! It's great to pass out to neighbors, that is if you can stop eating it!

    I quickly learned that fudge is my kids' favorite treat! My middle son has been asking for it all day long!

    I ended up hiding some in the freezer so it could last us until Christmas!

    Ingredients

    Fudge is really easy to make and you only need a few ingredients.

    • Semisweet chocolate chips: since chocolate is the main ingredient use a high-quality chip like Guittard or Ghirardelli.
    • Sweeteted condensed milk
    • Unsalted butter
    • Chrismtas color M&M candies: You can use any of your favorite Christmas candies or sprinkles as topping for your fudge.

    Directions

    Step one: Add all ingredients except your M&Ms to a large microwavable bowl.

    Place in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time mixing between until fully melted.

    This could have 1-2 minutes to fully melt and be smooth.

    Step two: Pour these ingredients into an 8x8 casserole dish.

    I used parchment paper and let it hang over for easy removal.

    Last top with Christmas colored M&M candies.

    Step three: Place in the fridge until set. This will take at least 2 hours. Then slice into fudge pieces and enjoy!

    Tips for Melting Chocolate

    Melting chocolate can be a little tricky so it's important to use higher quality chocolate.

    I bought chocolate chips for this recipe but you could also use a chocolate baking bar that was made for baking and melting.

    I placed them in microwave-safe bowls and only heated for 30 seconds at a time and mixed. It only took about 1 minute each to be completely melted and smooth.

    If you want to skip the microwave you could melt them on the stovetop.

    Here are some more of my favorite Christmas treat recipes:

    Santa's Favorite Cookie Recipe: Yep you read that right these are Santa's actual favorite cookies! Well at least in my house they are.

    Christmas Sugar Cookies: These are my favorite types of sugar cookies! They are soft and chewy and topped with cream cheese frosting.

    Chocolate Christmas Sprinkle Cookies: These cookies are so festive and perfect for Christmas. They are rolled in colorful Christmas sprinkles and baked.
