Ingredients
  

Fudge Base
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips about 12 oz
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Toppings (Optional)
  • crushed candy canes, toasted coconut flakes, chopped pistachios, or dried cranberries

Equipment

  • 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper
  • Medium saucepan
  • Spatula
  • Sharp knife (wiped between cuts)
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a generous overhang on the sides to use later as handles for lifting out the fudge.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
  3. Place the saucepan over low heat and stir constantly until the mixture is completely melted and smooth, taking care to avoid scorching the white chocolate.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the pure vanilla extract and salt.
  5. Pour the molten fudge into the prepared baking dish and use a spatula to smooth it evenly into the corners.
  6. If desired, sprinkle your chosen toppings—such as crushed candy canes, chopped pistachios, toasted coconut flakes, or dried cranberries—over the surface, gently pressing them into the warm, tacky fudge.
  7. Allow the fudge to set completely. This typically takes about 2-3 hours at room temperature or 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  8. Once firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge from the baking dish, place it on a cutting board, and cut it into bite-sized squares using a sharp knife (wiping the blade with hot water between cuts for clean slices).

Notes

These white chocolate fudge bites are extremely versatile and perfect for curbing a sweet craving or impressing guests at holiday gatherings. For best results, always use low heat and stir continuously to avoid scorching the chocolate. Experiment with different toppings or even substitute the white chocolate with milk or dark chocolate for a new twist. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their creamy texture.
