Refrigerate the fudge for about 2-3 hours or until it’s firm to the touch. You can also let it sit at room temperature, but the fridge helps it set more quickly.
6. Slice and Serve
Once the fudge has set, use the parchment paper to lift it out of the pan. Cut it into small squares and enjoy! It’s best served cold or at room temperature.
Toppings & Variations
While this recipe is delicious as-is, you can always customize your Christmas fudge by adding a variety of mix-ins or toppings. Here are some fun ideas:
- Crushed Peppermint: Add crushed peppermint candies or candy canes to the top of the fudge for a refreshing holiday twist.
- Nuts: Chopped pecans, walnuts, or almonds add crunch and richness to the fudge.
- Marshmallows: Mini marshmallows create a fun, chewy texture that complements the creamy fudge.
- White Chocolate Swirl: Add a swirl of melted white chocolate on top for a pretty contrast and a new layer of flavor.
- Sprinkles: Colorful sprinkles or edible glitter can make your fudge look even more festive for holiday parties.
Storage Tips
- Keep it fresh: Store your Christmas fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze fudge for up to 3 months. Just make sure it’s well-wrapped to avoid freezer burn.
- Serving: Allow the fudge to come to room temperature for the best flavor, or enjoy it chilled for a firmer texture.
