How to Make Christmas fudge:
Step 1. First, line an 8X8 square baking pan with foil or parchment paper. Then spray it with cooking spray and this will make it very easy to remove the fudge. It will also help with clean up.
Step 2. Second, get out a large microwave-safe bowl and put the chocolate chips inside it. Then melt the chocolate in 30 second increments stirring constantly after each interval. Use medium heat if your microwave has a setting.
Step 3. Continue to heat until the chocolate is melted. Be careful not to overcook the white chocolate.
Step 4. Stir in the vanilla frosting.
Step 5. Once everything is combined, separate the fudge mixture evenly between 3 bowls.
Step 6. You will need to leave one bowl white and then stir in the green and red food coloring into the other 2 bowls.
Step 7. Drop a spoonful of each color into the square pan using a random pattern.
Step 8. Continue until all of the different colors have been distributed.
Step 9. Once all of the fudge is in the prepared pan, use a knife to create a swirl pattern. I normally go back and forth and it creates a gorgeous pattern.
Step 10. Allow the fudge to set in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Then slice and enjoy.
