FAQ & TIPS
Can I add flavoring to this fudge?
This Grinch fudge has a delicious creamy white chocolate wonderful flavor the way the recipe is written, but if you want to add different flavors you can. Add in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to add a delicious vanilla flavor or 1/2 a teaspoon of peppermint extract to add some delicious peppermint flavor. You can really use any extract you’d like for flavoring!
Do I need to use gel food coloring?
Gel food coloring is the best for any food that you want strongly colored. For this fudge you want a nice bright shade of green so gel food coloring is much better to use than liquid. I like to use leaf green for this fudge, but if you prefer a lighter shade of green or a more neon shade you can use your favorite.
Do I need a candy thermometer?
No! This easy recipe doesn’t require any special equipment, just a saucepan and a square baking dish. Because this sweet treat is made with sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate chips this fudge is fool proof and sets up easily and stays nice an sauce.
Can I use other heart decorations?
I like to use heart shaped sprinkles for this fudge to represent the Grinch’s heart but there are a couple of other options. You can place a red candy heart in the center of each piece of fudge, or use red candy melts to pipe a heart on each piece of fudge after the fudge has cooled. No matter what you choose make sure to include the important red heart on your fudge!

Here’s what you’ll need for this Easy Grinch Fudge
2 1/2 Cups White Chocolate Chips
1 Can Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 Tbsp Butter
Pinch Salt
Green Leaf Gel Food Coloring
Large Red Heart Sprinkles
Here’s How to Make this Easy Grinch Fudge
Line an 8×8 square baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper and butter.
Place the sweetened condensed milk and the white chocolate chips in a medium size saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate chips have melted. Add in the butter and a pinch of salt and continue stirring and heating over low heat until the butter has melted and is completely incorporated.
Place about 1/8 tsp of green gel food coloring into the white chocolate fudge mixture and stir until well incorporated. Add additional food coloring if a deeper green color is desired.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Place sprinkles across the top of the fudge evenly in 5 rows of 5. When you cut the fudge each piece will have a heart in the center. If you prefer larger pieces of fudge you can use less sprinkles and spread them out more.
Place the fudge in the refrigerator and allow to cool for at least 4 hours.
When ready to serve slice the fudge with a clean sharp knife into 25 squares.
Store any leftover fudge refrigerated in an airtight container.

My 4yr old immediately said we should make those with grinch eyes nose and mouth. Haha, think that’s the only thing that could make grinch fudge better!!

I made this using peppermint. Yum. It was easy to make but after refrigerating for nearly 5 hours, it was just soft and flexible like Gumby. Where did I go wrong? It’s back in the pan in the freezer.
