Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Base

  • 2 cups white baking chips
  • 8 ounces vanilla almond bark (half of 16 oz package)
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces vanilla almond bark (remaining half of 16 oz package)

Decoration

  • Green oil-based food coloring (about 8 drops)
  • Yellow star sprinkles (or yellow sprinkles)
  • Holiday sprinkles (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare pan and melt fudge base: Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. In a double boiler over medium heat, combine 2 cups white baking chips, 8 ounces of vanilla almond bark, 1 can sweetened condensed milk, and salt. Stir regularly until the mixture is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract thoroughly.
  2. Set the fudge: Pour the smooth fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 4 to 6 hours or refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours until it firms up. Once set, remove the fudge from the pan and cut it into 16 squares.
  3. Prepare decoration drizzle: Heat the remaining 8 ounces of vanilla almond bark in 30-second intervals in a microwave-safe bowl until nearly smooth. Use residual heat to melt any remaining lumps without burning. Add approximately 8 drops of green oil-based food coloring to the melted almond bark and mix well.
  4. Decorate the fudge: Transfer the green almond bark into a zippered plastic bag and cut a small tip off one corner. Drizzle the green bark over the fudge squares in a back-and-forth pattern starting with small lines at the top, gradually expanding to create a Christmas tree shape. Top each fudge square with a yellow star sprinkle and additional holiday sprinkles as desired.

Notes

  • Use oil-based food coloring for melting chocolate to avoid seizing or texture changes.
  • Make sure to use parchment paper in the pan for easy removal of fudge.
  • Allow fudge to fully set before decorating to prevent melting or smudging.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for longer freshness.
  • You can customize the sprinkles to your preference for different holiday themes.
