*You can also make this fudge in an 8×8 cake pan. If you’re using a pan, I would suggest lining it with aluminum foil first.
How to Make Gingerbread Fudge
STEP ONE: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk.
STEP TWO: Stir in molasses and then flavor with spices – adjust to your personal preference.
STEP FOUR: Press the fudge down with wet, clean hands to ensure it sets evenly, and then place in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight…if you can stand to wait. Pop-out of the tray – or cut into squares if using a cake pan.
How to Store:
STORE: If you’re not eating right away, save them in an airtight container on the counter for up to a week or in the fridge for two to three weeks.
FREEZER: You can also save this in the freezer for up to two months. Just layer this gingerbread fudge in between layers of parchment paper to keep it from sticking. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
GIFT: Put in a food-safe box and tie with ribbon and a gift tag for the perfect edible gift to friends, teachers, and neighbors. These little (affiliate link) take out containers are one of my favorite ways to give edible gifts.
SERVE: A plate of these little guys looks adorable on a holiday party table. You could also box them up and send home with guests as a little edible favor.
With it’s rich, creamy taste and smooth texture, this fun and festive homemade gingerbread fudge will be a holiday favorite for years to come.
