When it comes to homemade holiday candy, I like easy recipes with simple ingredients. Better yet, if they can be easily dressed up with festive sprinkles, mini M&M’s or chopped nuts. Fun to make, share and eat!

I also use my microwave, because it’s quick and easy! Just like I do, to make my Easy Microwave Caramels. Perfect for when you need a last-minute gift for friends and family. Done and done!

Ingredients:

• chocolate chips
• sweetened condensed milk
• any extract: vanilla, almond, rum, etc.

How to make Christmas Fudge?

• Start by placing chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Add condensed milk.
• Microwave for 20 seconds and stir. Heat up in 20-second increments, until the mixture is melted.
• Stir until smooth. Add extract and stir in.

• Line an 8″ or 9″ square baking pan with parchment paper.
• Pour the fudge mixture into pan.
• Add sprinkles, M&M’s, etc.
• Let cool completely to set.
• Cut into squares and enjoy!

Can I make the fudge on the stove?

Absolutely! You can melt the mixture in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until smooth and pour into a pan.

How to store fudge?

I recommend storing this fudge in a container with a lid. If stored in the fridge, it will last longer.

Variations:

• candy: chop any candy bars you like and press into a still warm fudge mixture.
• coffee: add 1 teaspoon of instant coffee granules to melted fudge mixture;
• nuts: add 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, peanuts, etc.);
• rum: use rum extract in the fudge mixture

Tips for the best homemade fudge:

• line baking pan with parchment paper; it will make it easier to lift it out of the pan;
• use good-quality chocolate chips;
• let it set completely and it will be easy to cut;
