How to Make Christmas Fudge
Pro tip: line an 8 x 8 casserole dish with foil. Spray with nonstick spray. This makes for easy, clean removal which helps to keep your fudge beautiful!
In a large microwave-safe bowl place the white chocolate chips.
Microwave on high for one minute and stir.
Add the vanilla frosting to the melted chips.
Microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Microwave at 15-second intervals until you achieve melted and smooth mixture.
Pro tip: when melting chips in the microwave you are done when there are just a handful of chips still remaining not melted. Stop at that point and stir because the heat will continue to melt the rest of the chips and you won’t overcook them which causes trouble!
Measure out ¾ cup of the mixture into two different bowls and leave the remaining mixture in the original bowl. The original bowl will stay white.
Tint each ¾ cup bowl full of fudge with red coloring and green coloring to the desired depth of color.
Drop big tablespoons of each color into the foiled pan in random patterns. Then take a table knife and run it through the fudge to swirl to create a marbled design.
Pro tip: the fudge will start to set up quickly, so make sure you have everything ready so you can work quickly.
Refrigerate uncovered until set at least an hour.
Remove the fudge from the pan and peel the foil back. Cut into squares to serve!
