Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Base

4 cups white chocolate chips
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons molasses

Spices

2 teaspoons nutmeg
2 teaspoons ginger
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Optional Topping

Seasonal nonpareils

Instructions

Combine White Chocolate and Condensed Milk: In a medium-sized heat-safe bowl, mix the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Heat the mixture in the microwave in 25-second intervals, stirring well after each until smooth and creamy.
Add Molasses: Stir in the molasses until the fudge mixture turns a light brown color, ensuring even incorporation.
Add Spices: Mix in nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon thoroughly to infuse the fudge with warm gingerbread flavors.
Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly spray an 8×8-inch square baking dish with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Pour and Spread the Fudge: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared dish and use slightly wet, clean hands to spread it evenly.
Add Nonpareils: Sprinkle the seasonal nonpareils evenly over the surface of the fudge and gently pat them down to set.
Refrigerate: Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight until fully set and firm.

Notes

Use a microwave-safe bowl and stir the fudge mixture thoroughly during heating to prevent burning or uneven melting.
Spices can be adjusted to taste if you prefer stronger or milder gingerbread flavor.
Nonpareils are optional but add a festive look and slight crunch to the fudge.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Allow fudge to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for a softer bite.
