Instructions
- Prepare the Pan:
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
- Melt the Fudge Base:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
- Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
- Add Flavor and Color:
- Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract (if using).
- Add green food coloring a few drops at a time, mixing well until you achieve the desired shade of green.
- Pour and Decorate:
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Immediately sprinkle the top with green sprinkles or St. Patrick’s Day-themed decorations.
- Chill and Set:
- Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or until the fudge is firm.
- Cut and Serve:
- Remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
- Cut into squares or rectangles with a sharp knife. For a festive touch, use a shamrock-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes.
Notes
- If you prefer a stronger almond flavor, you can adjust the almond extract to your taste.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- You can also add a pinch of sea salt on top for a sweet-and-salty twist!
