- 1/4 cup Butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Garnish (Optional)

Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line or grease a baking dish to prevent the fudge from sticking, ensuring easy removal once set.
- Make the Green Fudge Layer: In a saucepan, melt 2 cups white chocolate chips with 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk and 1/4 cup butter over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth.
- Add Flavor and Color: Remove the melted mixture from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon green food coloring. Adjust the color for your preferred festive green shade.
- Set the Green Layer: Pour the green fudge mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish and refrigerate for about 15 minutes until it is slightly set.
- Make the White Fudge Layer: Repeat the melting process with another 2 cups white chocolate chips, 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk, and 1/4 cup butter over low heat until smooth, then remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Layer the White Fudge: Once the green layer has set, pour the white fudge mixture over it, spreading evenly to cover the surface completely.
- Chill the Fudge: Refrigerate the layered fudge until fully set, approximately 1 to 2 hours.
- Cut and Garnish: Once firm, cut the fudge into 24 pieces. Optionally, sprinkle green sprinkles or gold edible glitter over the top for extra festive flair.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve your beautiful St. Patrick’s Day fudge at your celebration or package it as a delightful seasonal gift.
Notes
- Use a low heat setting while melting chocolate to prevent burning.
- Adjust green food coloring gradually to avoid an overly intense color.
- Ensure each layer is sufficiently set before adding the next to avoid mixing.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Allow fudge to come to room temperature briefly before serving for a softer texture.
