Awesome recipe, used it in my baking trays that I give away to neighbors and friends every year, they all wanted the recipe, thanks so much.
Karlynn’s Recipe Notes
- Skill Level: This is a very easy recipe.
- Total Time: This recipe will only take you about 5 minutes to make. Chilling time will vary depending on how firm you want the fudge to be.
- Variations: If you can’t find jujube candies or don’t enjoy them, you can use a different time of gummy candy, or even candied fruit. if you aren’t married to the idea of the fudge being vibrant and white, you can use some semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips and a chocolate frosting instead. If you’ve got some holiday sprinkles on hand, add some of those on top of the fudge before chilling.
- Tools Needed: For this recipe, you’ll need an 8×8 baking pan, some parchment paper, a large glass measuring cup, a spatula or spoon, a cutting board, and a sharp knife.
What You’ll Need for Ingredients
Chocolate: For the most vibrant effect, you’ll want white chocolate chips. However, this fudge can absolutely be made with a different type of chocolate chips.
Frosting: For this recipe, we’re using a can of frosting. Vanilla or French vanilla will give you a bright white fudge. You could also use rainbow bit icing for more little pops of colour. If you don’t care about having white fudge, you can use and canned frosting you want.
Candy: Red and green jujube candies, chopped up into small pieces, will provide a vibrant burst of holiday colours in the white fudge. If you want to use different colours, or a different type of candy, or even candied fruit, go right ahead.

Karlynn’s Tips and Tricks for Making 3 Ingredient Christmas Fudge
Personalize The Fudge: Try adding dried cranberries or cherries to give it that special touch. You could use gummy bears, or really any chopped up gummy candy you like. Add some holiday-themed sprinkles, a glittery dusting of coloured sugar, or some unmelted chocolate chips to the top of the fudge before you chill it. Have fun making these as simple or as creative as you want.
Sliceable: This fudge will be the easiest to slice and handle if you use soft candies. You could even soak jujubes in hot water for a few minutes, and then dry them before chopping them up, so that they’re extra soft. This fudge also freezes well and will be even easier to slice up if you freeze it first. Run your knife through hot water before you start cutting and you shouldn’t have any issues.
Storage Instructions
Once you’ve sliced it, store this fudge in a sealed container in the fridge for several days or freeze it for several months. They’ll be easiest to take out and eat if you wrap the individual pieces in plastic wrap before freezing them.

Does 3 ingredient Christmas fudge have 86k calories?
Karlynn Johnston says
The large calorie, food calorie, or kilocalorie (Cal, calorie or kcal) is the amount of heat needed to cause the same increase in one kilogram of water. Thus, 1 kilocalorie (kcal) = 1000 calories (cal).
It’s the scientific name for Calorie.
Narissa Gowan says
My son can’t eat anything chewy like the candy. Do you have any suggestions to replace the jujubes?
Christina Tayman says
Will gummy bears or the gum drops work in replacing the Jujube candy? I can’t find it anywhere.
