What Ingredients Are in Grinch Fudge?
This recipe is made up of simple, pantry staple ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for the exact measurements.
White Chocolate Chips: I always like to use Ghiradelli chocolate chips when I am baking. They are so smooth and creamy. Marshmallow Cream: This binds all of the ingredients together to give it a fudge texture. Vanilla: This splash of sweet flavor may turn your white mixture a bit tan, but that’s ok! It will taste the same! Sugar: This makes the Grinch fudge taste nice and sweet. Evaporated Milk: If you don’t have this on hand, you can use heavy cream instead. Butter: I used unsalted butter in this recipe. Bright Green Gel Food Coloring: I use this food coloring, but if you can’t find it, liquid green and yellow food coloring will mix up just fine! Red Heart Sprinkles: This final touch really takes this recipe over the top!
How to Make Grinch Fudge
You will love how this fudge turns out. It’s so creamy, delicious, and insanely adorable!
Use a Candy Thermometer: to make your life easier, you can use a candy thermometer! Cook the fudge until it reaches 234-237 degrees Fahrenheit, then remove it from the heat. Use a Wooden Spoon: Wood is a poor conductor of heat, so it won’t affect the cooking temperature of the sugar and won’t cause accidental crystalization. Why is my fudge grainy? Fudge turns out grainy because it was stirred, and sugar crystals were formed. To achieve a nice silky texture, do not stir the fudge once it simmers. Instead, stir only until it simmers and then stop completely. Only resume stirring once it has cooled slightly in the bowl with the chocolate chips. Hand Mixer: For best results, use the hand mixer until the fudge loses its shine and becomes matte. Then, pour it into the pan. Top with sprinkles quickly, as they have trouble sticking to the fudge as it cools. You may press the sprinkles into the fudge a little to ensure they will stick as it sets. Why is my white chocolate fudge a tan color? Don’t worry if your fudge isn’t white but more of a tan. This could be because of two things: 1. The caramelization of the mixture or 2. If you used a dark vanilla extract. Both are totally normal and won’t change the flavor. Plus, you won’t be able to tell after you add the green food coloring!
