    How To Make Festive Grinch Fudge

    Step 1. Prepare pan: Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Set it aside.

    Step 2. Melt white chocolate mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 bags of white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in increments, stirring often until all the white chocolate chips are melted.

    Step 3. Color the white chocolate: Cut the melted white chocolate mixture in half. Mix neon green food gel into one half until well combined.

    Step 4. Layering in pan: Spread the green mixture into the prepared baking dish. Swirl the white mixture on top of the green.

    Step 5. Melt and swirl red candy melts: Melt red candy melts as directed on the package. Swirl in the red candy melts with the green and white fudge mixture.

    Step 6. Decorate and freeze: Place red heart sprinkles on top of the fudge. Freeze the fudge for one hour.

    Step 7. Cut and serve: Once frozen, cut the fudge into pieces and serve.

    Tips 

    • For clean edges, cut the fudge with a clean sharp knife. You’ll want to keep warm water or a clean rag handy so that you can continue to clean off the blade while cutting the fudge.
    • Add some clear vanilla extract or peppermint extract to give this delicious Grinch fudge extra flavor.

    Frequently Asked Questions About This Easy Grinch Dessert
