Fudge Base
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- Green food coloring, as needed
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract

- Red heart sprinkles, for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the fudge once set.
- Melt Chocolate and Condensed Milk: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Add Color and Flavor: Stir in green food coloring and peppermint extract until the mixture is evenly colored and flavored a festive minty green.
- Spread the Mixture: Pour the green fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Decorate: Sprinkle red heart sprinkles over the top to add a vibrant, festive contrast.
- Chill to Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set.
- Serve: Once set, cut the fudge into squares and enjoy this seasonal treat.
Notes
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean edges.
- Adjust the green food coloring to achieve your preferred shade of green.
- Microwave times may vary depending on your microwave’s power; stir frequently to prevent burning.
- For a non-microwave option, gently melt the white chocolate and condensed milk over a double boiler, stirring continuously.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Red heart sprinkles can be substituted with other festive decorations like crushed candy canes or edible glitter.
