    Snowflake and Wreath Christmas Fudge

    Snowflake and Wreath Christmas Fudge is the answer for last minute gifts and one last addition to a Christmas candy platter. This super simple recipe, with only 3 ingredients, makes a sweet, creamy 2-layer fudge. Add a few sprinkles to turn plain fudge into sparkling Snowflakes and festive Christmas Wreaths.

    Why you'll love this recipe

    • This two layer fudge requires just three simple ingredients.
    • This delicious treat is quick and easy to make, with no candy thermometer needed.
    • Homemade fudge makes wonderful gifts and looks so pretty on Christmas cookie trays.

    The creamy chocolate flavor ensures that this Christmas fudge will disappear quickly from holiday trays. The festive designs make it an impressive gift to deliver in person or to mail.

    This holiday fudge starts with a layer of chocolate fudge topped with a layer of white chocolate fudge cut into individual pieces. Then sprinkles are added for a festive touch.

    You can use cookie cutters to form the circles of fudge for the wreaths and snowflakes. It is relatively quick to do, and you can nibble on the scrap edges left over from the cut-outs.

    However, when your to-do list is longer than there are hours in the day to accomplish it all, short cuts are appreciated. Cutting the fudge into squares is a quicker processes, and a more efficient use of the entire block of fudge.

    I think the snowflakes on the squares look just as pretty as the circles! Choose whichever shape you prefer for this easy fudge recipe.

    Instructions

    This is an overview of the instructions. The full instructions are in the recipe card below.

    1. Place the semi-sweet chocolate and ½ can of condensed milk in the top of a double boiler over medium-low heat. Mix continually until smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture into a parchment paper lined baking pan and spread evenly.
    2. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to set slightly.
    3. Place the white chocolate and the remaining ½ can of condensed milk in the top of a double boiler over medium-low heat. Mix continually until smooth. Pour over the semi-sweet layer and spread evenly.
    4. Refrigerate until firm (about 1 hour).
    5. When the fudge is firm, remove from the refrigerator. Cut into squares/rectangles with a knife or cut out circles with round cookie cutters.

    Snowflakes

    Decorating instructions: slice snowflake pattern on top of fudge, insert candy pearls into slices.
    1. Use the rounded tip of an off-set spatula or butter knife to indent four lines in a crisscross star pattern on the surface of each fudge round or square/rectangle.
    2. Press nonpareils into the ends of each indented line.

     Wreaths

    Decorating wreath instructions: press holly  sprinkles in a circle, press red pearl sprinkles between the leaves.

    1. Press 5 holly leaf sprinkles in a circle on the surface of a fudge round. Leave space between the leaves for the holly berry sprinkles.
    2. Press three holly berry sprinkles in the spaces between the leaves.

    Storage

    Store in an airtight container layered between sheets of wax paper at room temperature for up to 10 days.

    Tips

    • Using chocolate melts for the ease of smooth melting and the soft fudge that results.
    • The softer the fudge, the less cracks will appear when the surface is cut or when sprinkles are added. However, even if some minimal cracks do occur, these little fudge shapes are still beautiful.
    • Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate over medium heat. It's a gentler melting method and you're less likely to end up with over cooked chocolate if you stir continually over a double boiler than if you use the microwave.
    • The festive sprinkles I used are easy to find, if you don’t have some already. The wreaths are made with holly and berries sprinkles by Wilton. The snowflakes use nonpareils and luster dust.

      Thank you, Millie! This fudge is super easy to make. If you choose to use a cookie cutter, you get to eat all the "scraps". That's the rule. 😉

        I can't seem to leave "plain and delicious" as is! Apparently, I am I have a thing for upping the cute factor with sprinkles. It doesn't change the flavor, just the curb appeal. 🙂 I am NOT making any more fudge for awhile. I found it impossible to leave alone! I hope you and your family have a magical Christmas, Monica!
