A two-layer chocolate fudge dotted with holiday candy-coated chocolates. Cut into small squares for cookie trays and gift tins.

Ingredients

  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk divided
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract divided (1/2 teaspoon per layer)
  • 1 cup candy-coated chocolate divided (holiday M&Ms, or Sixlets for gluten-free)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

  • Line an 8-inch square pan with wax or parchment paper.
  • Microwave half of the condensed milk with the white chocolate chips in intervals of 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring every 15–20 seconds, until smooth. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
  • Spread into the pan, press in half of the candy, and let it set a little.
  • Melt the semi-sweet chips with the rest of the condensed milk in the same way, then stir in the rest of the vanilla.
  • Pour over the white layer, spread to the edges, and press in the rest of the candy.
  • Let cool completely (about 1 hour in the fridge speeds it up), then cut into squares 1 to 1 1/2 inch wide.

Notes

Airtight at room temperature up to a week, refrigerated a couple of weeks, or frozen up to two months. Keep sealed while thawing so condensation doesn't melt the candy shells.
