Festive, colorful and truly delicious, this easy 3-ingredient fudge recipe is sure to impress everyone. It’s so simple to make and you don’t need any specialist ingredients or equipment to get perfect results. Since the ingredients are swirled together, each piece of fudge boasts red, white and green colors and it looks like a professionally made candy.

All you need are some white chocolate chips, vanilla frosting and food coloring.

Choose from any brands you want. Betty Crocker and Ghirardelli make great frosting and chocolate, and since those are the only two ingredients apart from the food coloring it’s worth using good brands. If you also have peppermint extract on hand, you can add a little bit of that too, to boost the festive flavor.

And if you want to add toppings, what about holiday sprinkles or crushed candy canes on top? You can also use different food coloring colors in this homemade fudge.

Why You’ll Love the Recipe:

Can You Make It Ahead?
Yes, you can make this fudge recipe in advance but don’t keep it at room temperature, or else it will soften too much.

Ingredients:
- White chocolate chips
- Red and green gel food coloring
- Vanilla frosting

How to make Christmas Fudge:
Melt the white chocolate chips and frosting together in a double boiler (or a glass dish over a pot of water).
Stir them every minute or so, and cook for about 8 minutes or until the mixture is smooth.

Divide the mixture between 3 bowls, mixing red food coloring into one and green into another, leaving the last one white.

Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some to overhang the sides.
Dollop the 3 different mixtures into the dish, then use a butter knife to swirl them together.
Refrigerate for an hour or two, uncovered, until set.

Cut into pieces and enjoy.

Notes
Storage Instructions:
Keep the fudge in an airtight container and eat within a few days. Bear in mind moisture speeds up spoilage so ensure the container is sealed. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Again, ensure the container is sealed or use a freezer-safe Ziploc bag.
Variations and Substitutions:
Use any kind of chocolate chips you want, or try another flavor frosting or change the colors. You can use regular food coloring instead of the gel, but if you’re using the liquid kind you will need a little more. A tiny drop of gel food coloring goes a long way, so just add a tiny bit at a time, then mix and add more if needed.
