Method
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine sweetened condensed milk, butter, and salt. Heat, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and mixture is smooth and hot. Do not boil.
- Place semi-sweet and white chocolate chips in a large heatproof bowl. Pour the hot milk mixture over the chips. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to soften.
- Add vanilla and cinnamon. Whisk the mixture steadily until the chocolate is completely melted and the fudge is smooth and glossy.
- Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until very firm.
- Use the parchment paper to lift the fudge block from the pan. Using a Christmas tree-shaped cookie cutter, cut out trees. Re-roll scraps and cut more trees.
- Press one side of each fudge tree into the green sanding sugar. Decorate with assorted sprinkles for ornaments and a star for the top.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Serve slightly cool.
Notes
For best results, use high-quality chocolate chips. Work quickly when cutting the trees if your kitchen is warm. A hot, dry cookie cutter makes cleaner cuts.
