Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 16 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup marshmallow cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- Bright green gel food coloring, to taste
- Red heart sprinkles, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil to ensure easy removal of the fudge once set. Set aside while you prepare the fudge mixture.
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the white chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, and vanilla extract until combined. Set this mixture aside.
- Cook the Sugar Mixture: In a heavy saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, evaporated milk, and unsalted butter. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously until everything is blended and the butter is melted.
- Boil the Mixture: Allow the sugar mixture to come to a boil. Once boiling, let it continue to boil undisturbed for 10 minutes to reach the right consistency for fudge.
- Combine Mixtures: Carefully pour the hot sugar mixture over the white chocolate mixture in the bowl. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to soften the chocolate chips before mixing.
- Color and Beat: Add bright green gel food coloring to the mixture. Using a mixer on medium-low speed, beat the fudge until it thickens and the color is evenly distributed. Adjust the green color as needed by adding more gel.
- Pour and Decorate: Spread the thickened fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Decorate the top with red heart sprinkles to add a festive touch.
- Set and Slice: Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until firm. Once set, remove from the pan and slice into 16 squares to serve.
Notes
- Use a heavy saucepan to prevent burning during the boiling process.
- Do not stir the sugar mixture while boiling to ensure proper fudge setting.
- Adjust green food coloring gradually to get the perfect Grinch green shade.
- Line the pan with overhanging parchment or foil for easier removal.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
