How to Make Easy Grinch Fudge

  1. Prepare the Fudge Base:
    • Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

  2. Add Color and Flavor:
    • Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Add green food coloring a few drops at a time until you reach your desired shade of green.
  3. Pour and Chill:
    • Pour the green fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle red and green sprinkles over the top for a festive touch.
  4. Set the Fudge:
    • Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until it is firm enough to cut into squares. Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into small squares.

Tips For Easy Grinch Fudge

  • For a smoother fudge, make sure to stir constantly while melting the mixture to avoid any lumps.
  • If the fudge is too soft to cut, chill it for a bit longer until it firms up.

Substitutions and Variations:

  • Flavor Variations: Add a few drops of peppermint extract for a minty twist.
  • Decorations: Use themed sprinkles or edible glitter for extra holiday sparkle.

Make a Healthier Version:
