Ingredient Notes:

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.
• Sweetened Condensed Milk
• Unsalted Butter
• Christmas 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 8×8 casserole dish.

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

Lastly, 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.

Recipe Tips

Chill completely before slicing for clean, neat squares.

Use good-quality chocolate chips for the creamiest fudge.

Don’t skip the sweetened condensed milk. It’s what gives the fudge its smooth, silky texture.

Add toppings quickly before the fudge sets.
