Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup crushed nuts
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of white chocolate chips, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup of crushed nuts, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Ensure that your workspace is clean and organized for efficient cooking.
- Prepare an 8x8 inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal later. This will help prevent the fudge from sticking to the dish.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the 2 cups of white chocolate chips and the 1 can of sweetened condensed milk. Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent the chocolate from burning.
- Continue to stir the mixture until the white chocolate chips have completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Once the mixture is fully melted and combined, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix well to incorporate the flavor.
- Next, fold in the 1 cup of crushed nuts into the melted fudge mixture. Ensure the nuts are evenly distributed throughout the fudge for a delightful crunch in every bite.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it evenly. Smooth the top with the spatula to create a flat surface.
- Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes. For quicker setting, you can place the dish in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until the fudge is firm.
- Once the fudge has set, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift it out of the baking dish. Place it on a cutting board.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the fudge into 24 equal pieces. Store the pieces in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
- Your Little Debbie White Chocolate Christmas Fudge is now ready to enjoy! Share with friends and family or keep it all for yourself as a festive treat.
Tips
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor and smoothest texture.
- Stir constantly while melting chocolate to prevent burning and ensure a silky consistency.
- Let the fudge cool completely before cutting to get clean, precise pieces.
- For extra festive flair, sprinkle some crushed candy canes or holiday-colored sprinkles on top before the fudge sets.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
- For a gift-worthy presentation, wrap individual pieces in festive cellophane or place in holiday-themed treat boxes.
- Experiment with different nuts like pecans or almonds for unique flavor variations.
