Gingerbread Fudge

Ingredients

  • 4 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 2 teaspoons nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons ginger
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • seasonal nonpareils, optional

Instructions 

  • In a medium-sized heat-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and the sweetened condensed milk. Place in the microwave and heat for 25 seconds at a time, stirring well after each interval. The chips and condensed milk mixture will be stiff half way through the heating, but will become smoother.
  • After the mixture is a smoother texture, add the molasses and stir until the color of the mixture is a light brown.
  • Add the spices and mix well.
  • Lightly spray a 8×8 square baking dish.
  • Pour fudge into the baking dish.
  • Evenly spread the fudge using slightly wet, clean hands.
  • Spread the seasonal non-pareils over the slightly damp fudge. Lightly pat down to set the non-pareils.
  • Refrigerate for 2 hours to overnight.

Notes

  • Molasses is a great ingredient to keep on hand in your pantry! It stays fresh at room temperature for quite a while, can be used in many different recipes (like this one), and you can quickly make brown sugar in a pinch.
  • If you plan to cut this into small squares, score the top before chilling to make it easier to cut later.
  • You can make them in the gingerbread men mold.
