Ingredients

For the Fudge Base

1 cup White Chocolate Chips Use high-quality chocolate for best results, such as Ghirardelli.
1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Cut into small cubes for easier melting.
1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk No substitution recommended for similar consistency.
1/4 teaspoon Salt Keep as is for depth of taste.
1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract Optional substitution: Vanilla bean paste for a stronger flavor.
1/2 teaspoon Almond Extract Optional: Adjust amount to taste or swap with hazelnut extract.

For the Crunch

1 cup Mini Nilla Wafers Can be chopped for a finer distribution.
1/4 cup Christmas Jimmies/Sprinkles Avoid nonpareils as they bleed color.

Instructions

Basic Instructions

Line an 8x8 square pan with parchment paper, ensuring to smear it lightly with butter.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, mix together the white chocolate chips, butter, sweetened condensed milk, and salt. Microwave for 1 minute to start melting.
Gently stir the mixture and microwave in 30-second increments, continuing until fully melted and smooth.
Incorporate the pure vanilla extract and almond extract into the melted mixture, mixing until well combined.
Carefully fold in the crushed Nilla wafers, and mix in 1/4 cup of sprinkles, stirring gently.
Transfer the mixture into your prepared pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top and sprinkle the remaining jimmies over it.
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until firm. Let sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cutting.
Use a warm, clean knife to cut into squares, ensuring each piece has festive sprinkles.

Notes

Optional: Consider adding some chopped nuts for a delicious twist. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months.
