Some of my first memories of the holidays were of my mom cutting out colorful rectangles of cellophane. She’d tape them on the windowpanes of our living room so at night they’d look like stained glass. That’s exactly what I thought these squares of colorful white chocolate fudge looked like as I sliced them.
How to Make
- Line a 9 x 9-inch pan with non-stick foil.
- Melt white chocolate melts with sweetened condensed milk and salt over low heat, then add vanilla and chopped gumdrops.
- Spread into pan, cover, and chill.
- Remove from pan using the foil as a sling and cut into squares.
- Store in a covered, airtight container.
