Instructions

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Spray the lining lightly with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the fudge later. Set the pan aside for now.
Melt Ingredients: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Microwave on medium-high in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the pure vanilla extract until well incorporated.
Pour and Spread: Pour the melted fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Use a rubber spatula to smooth the surface into an even layer.
Add Sprinkles: Evenly sprinkle 2 to 3 tablespoons of Christmas-themed sprinkles over the top of the fudge to add festive color and texture.
Chill to Set: Transfer the pan to the refrigerator and allow the fudge to chill and set for about 2 hours.
Cut and Serve: Once firm, remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper or foil edges. Cut into 1-inch pieces and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks, or refrigerate for 3-4 weeks.

Notes

Line your baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil to make removing the fudge easy and mess-free.
Using high-quality chocolate such as Godiva or Ghirardelli will yield the best flavor, though Nestle baking morsels also work well.
Ensure you use sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk, for the correct creamy texture and sweetness.
Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks or refrigerate to extend shelf life to 3-4 weeks.
