👩🏻🍳 Eileen's Tips for Success
- Instead of greasing your baking dish, you can also remove it with parchment paper or wax paper. Both will help you lift this fun dessert from the baking dish to cut it into squares.
- Using clear vanilla extract will help ensure that your white chocolate fudge recipe will turn out a nice color.
- To get the vibrant green color of this fudge you will need to use green gel food coloring. I don't recommend using liquid food coloring as it may thin your fudge too much.
- If you don't have a microwave-safe bowl large enough, you can use a double boiler to melt the chocolate chips instead.
- Use a clean sharp knife to cut the fudge into squares for your holiday party.
❄️ Make ahead, storage, and freezer tips
Storage - Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
Freezing - If you are freezing this fudge wrap it in plastic wrap, then aluminum foil, and place it in a freezer bag. Store it in the freezer for up to three months. Thaw on the counter overnight. Just note that the red heart sprinkle may bleed its color when thawed. It's still safe to eat just not pretty.
Make ahead: This festive Grinch fudge is great when made up to 24 hours in advance.
