Christmas Fudge Recipe (Easy and Creamy)

Recipe by Rebekah Winscott

This easy Christmas fudge recipe is creamy, colorful, and perfect for holiday gifting. Made with white chocolate and festive swirls, it takes just 20 minutes to prepare — no candy thermometer required!

  • Total Time20 minutes
  • Yield25-36 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 cups white chocolate chips
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Pinch of salt
  • Red and green food coloring
  • 1-2 tbsp holiday sprinkles

Optional Add-ins:

  • Crushed candy canes
  • Chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Dried cranberries or pistachios

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang on the sides so you can easily lift the fudge out once it’s set.
  2. Melt the base: In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and a pinch of salt. Melt over low heat, stirring gently and constantly, until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  3. Add color: Divide the melted mixture evenly among three small bowls. Tint one bowl red, one bowl green, and leave the third white. Stir gently until the color is evenly blended.
  4. Create the swirl: Drop spoonfuls of each color into the prepared pan, alternating red, green, and white. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the colors together for a marbled look. Don’t overmix or the colors may blend into brown.
  5. Add toppings (optional): Sprinkle holiday sprinkles, crushed peppermint, or your favorite toppings evenly over the surface for a festive finish.
  6. Chill to set: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for 3 to 4 hours, or until the fudge feels firm to the touch.
  7. Cut and serve: Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into 1- to 2-inch squares using a sharp knife. For the cleanest cuts, warm your knife under hot water and wipe it dry between slices.
  8. Store or gift: Keep the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, refrigerate for up to 3 weeks, or freeze for up to 2 months. Wrap pieces in wax paper and pack them into decorative tins or jars for easy holiday gifting.
