Ingredients
1 (12 ounce) package (2 cups) of white chocolate chips
2 pounds (about 8 cups) confectioner’s sugar
1 cup vodka or gin
Christmas-themed sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Line a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Crease the edges so the sides are also lined and you can later use the parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan. If necessary, snip the corners of the paper with scissors.
Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 90 seconds at 70 percent power. Stir and continue to melt at 30 second, then 15 second, intervals just until melted, stirring well each time.
While the chocolate is melting, place the confectioner’s sugar in a large bowl. Whisk the vodka into the sugar. The mixture will look like icing.
When the chocolate is melted, quickly pour the chocolate into the sugar and vodka mixture and stir very well. Scrape the chocolate, vodka and sugar mixture into the prepared baking pan. Spread evenly. Work quickly, as white chocolate sets quickly when mixed with liquid.
If desired, sprinkle sprinkles on top and gently press into the fudge.
Let the fudge set at room temperature just until firm, about an hour. Lift from the pan and cut into squares. If the fudge is still too soft, place in the refrigerator to firm.
Makes 60 one-inch pieces.
Variation:
I used cherry rum instead of vodka or gin as I had it in the house and I thought the cherry rum would go with the chocolate.
Thoughts:
It just didn't firm up like it should have. Taste wise, I liked it, but texture, it needed work. I think that if I ever make this again I will either add more chocolate/sugar or ease up on the liquid (probably the latter)
