Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper, spray with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Place the white chocolate chips in a medium bowl, the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a separate medium bowl. Divide the sweetened condensed milk in half, adding some to the white chocolate and some to the semi-sweet chocolate. (about 7 oz of condensed milk will be added to each bowl)
14 oz sweetened condensed milk, 6 oz semi sweet chocolate chips, 6 oz white chocolate chips
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate mixture in the microwave in 30-second increments stirring in between every time. Add in the vanilla extract and stir to combine. Spread the mixture into the prepared baking pan.
2 tsp vanilla extract
Melt the white chocolate mixture in the microwave in 30-second increments stirring in between every time. Add in the vanilla extract and stir to combine. Mix in the Christmas sprinkles and spread on top of the semi-sweet chocolate fudge layer.
2 tsp vanilla extract
Top with extra sprinkles and chill in the fridge for at least one hour before slicing and enjoying
2 tbsp christmas sprinkles

Sweetened Condensed Milk: Use the whole 14 oz (approximately 397 g) can, divided evenly between the two chocolate mixtures (about 7 oz or 198 g per bowl). Don’t use only half the can total, both layers need milk for the right texture.
Vanilla Extract: The total amount is 2 teaspoons, split evenly between the white chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate mixtures (1 tsp each). This balances the flavor without overpowering.
Melting Chocolate: Melt in short 30-second bursts in the microwave, stirring well between each to avoid burning and ensure smooth melting.
Peppermint Extract (optional): If adding peppermint flavor, add about ½ to 1 teaspoon to the semi-sweet chocolate fudge layer only for a festive touch.
Setting & Cutting: Chill the fudge in the fridge for at least 1 hour or until completely firm before slicing. If the fudge is too soft, more chilling time will help it set.
Sprinkles: Add sprinkles on the white chocolate layer and extra on top before chilling for a colorful festive look.
Storage: Store fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
