Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tbsp. unsalted butter, cubed, plus more for pan
- 2 1/2 c. dark chocolate chips (about 14 oz.; 60% to 70% cacao)
- 1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 2 to 3 tbsp. Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Butter an 8″ x 8″ baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two opposite sides to make removing the fudge easier.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cubed butter, dark chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and kosher salt. Stir constantly with a rubber spatula until the chocolate chips have melted completely and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes.
- Pour the smooth chocolate mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Immediately sprinkle the top with Christmas sprinkles for a festive touch.
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or up to 1 day until it is fully set and firm.
- Run a sharp knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the fudge. Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the fudge out of the pan and place it on a cutting board. If the fudge is difficult to remove, let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly, then try again. Cut into small 1½-inch squares and serve.
Notes
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Fudge can be made ahead of time for the holidays.
