Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Base

  • 22 oz (2 11-oz bags) white chocolate chips (Ghirardelli recommended)
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes

Coloring

  • ¼–½ teaspoon red gel food coloring (Americolor brand suggested)
  • ¼–½ teaspoon green gel food coloring (Americolor brand suggested)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring well after each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
  2. Add the butter: Stir the cold, cubed unsalted butter into the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated and glossy.
  3. Divide and color: Split the fudge base evenly into three separate bowls. Add red gel food coloring to one bowl and green gel food coloring to another, stirring each until colors are vibrant. Leave the third bowl uncolored for classic white fudge.
  4. Layer the fudge: Pour the different colored fudge mixtures into a lined baking pan in layers or swirls, using a knife or toothpick to create festive patterns as desired.
  5. Set the fudge: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until firm to the touch.
  6. Cut and serve: Once set, remove the fudge from the pan, cut into small squares, and serve or package for gifting.

Notes

  • Use gel food coloring instead of liquid to avoid changing the fudge’s consistency.
  • Allow the butter to be cold helps to add richness and shiny texture once melted.
  • For cleaner layers or swirls, chill the fudge slightly between pouring each color.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Let the fudge sit at room temperature a few minutes before serving for softer texture.
