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 all of 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 and delicious!

1. Prep: Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil and set aside.
2. Add chocolate, marshmallow, and vanilla: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, and vanilla. Set aside.
3. Boil: In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the sugar, evaporated milk, and butter. Heat over medium, stirring with a wooden spoon to combine the ingredients. Once it comes to a low boil, stop stirring and let it boil for 10 minutes without stirring it. Don’t be alarmed if the mixture looks a little caramelized in color.
4. Combine: After 10 minutes, remove the sugar mixture from the heat and pour over the white chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, and vanilla. Let this sit together for a few minutes before stirring with the wooden spoon to incorporate the ingredients.
5. Add food coloring: Add a few drops of bright green gel food coloring and beat with an electric mixer on medium-low speed until almost set. Add more food coloring as needed to get a bright, Grinchy green.
6. Pour into pan and add sprinkles: Pour into your prepared 8×8-inch pan and top with heart sprinkles. Place into the fridge for a couple of hours to set. Once set, remove from the fridge. Use the parchment paper to lift the fudge from the pan and cut into 1 ½ inch squares.
