How to Make Grinch Fudge
This delicious Grinch fudge is really easy to make and only takes 20 minutes from start to finish!
- Place the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, unsalted butter, and a couple drops of green food coloring into a large microwave-safe bowl. Add more or less green to get the color of the fudge the shade you want it.
- Stir gently with a wooden spoon, then microwave in one-minute intervals at medium low heat. Stir between each round until you have a smooth, fully melted fudge mixture. Be careful not to overheat — for best results, use second increments toward the end.
- Line a square baking dish (about 9×6 inches) with parchment paper, aluminum foil, or wax paper. Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and gently tap to remove any air bubbles.
- Smooth the top of the fudge evenly with a spatula. While still soft, press red candy hearts or red heart sprinkles evenly across the surface.
- Refrigerate the fudge for 2 to 3 hours, or until firm. Let it come to room temperature for a few minutes before cutting for cleaner edges.
- Lift the fudge out of the pan, peel back the parchment paper, and cut into squares using a clean sharp knife.
Enjoy your fun dessert — a vibrant green fudge that’s full of holiday spirit!
