There’s nothing quite like homemade gingerbread fudge to capture the spirit of the holiday season. This creamy, decadent treat combines the richness of white chocolate with the warm spices of gingerbread—cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg—for a truly festive flavor experience. The molasses adds just the right depth and that unmistakable gingerbread taste that makes this fudge irresistible.

What makes this recipe so special is its simplicity. No complicated techniques or special equipment required—just a handful of ingredients and a double boiler (or microwave), and you’ll have a batch of gourmet fudge that tastes like it came from an upscale candy shop. It’s the perfect no-bake dessert for busy holiday schedules, and at 72 pieces per batch, you’ll have plenty to enjoy throughout the season or package up as gifts for friends and family.

The beauty of this gingerbread fudge is its versatility. You can adjust the spice levels to suit your taste, or even experiment with different toppings like crushed ginger snaps or a white chocolate drizzle. Whether you’re hosting a holiday party or looking for an impressive homemade gift, this easy gingerbread fudge is sure to impress.

Instructions

Make the Fudge

  1. Melt the chocolate, butter, condensed milk, and molasses in a double boiler by setting a heatproof bowl over a pan filled 1/3 of the way with simmering water (not boiling). Alternatively, microwave the chocolate stirring every 10 seconds.
  2. Once the chocolate mixture is completely melted, stir in the vanilla and spices.
  3. Transfer the fudge to an 8x8 pan lined with parchment paper. Smooth into an even layer and chill for 2 hours before cutting. Cut into small squares and enjoy!

Notes

  • This is a no-bake dessert, so it's perfect for busy holiday schedules.
  • Store finished fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
