Test kitchen tips

• Be sure to add enough food coloring to get the Grinch lime green!
• Once you spread the fudge into your baking dish, gently tap it on the counter to release the air bubbles before you allow it to harden.   

Variations

• Want to add a little more vanilla flavor to this white chocolate fudge recipe? Add a teaspoon of clear vanilla extract to the melted chocolate and frosting mixture.  You can use regular vanilla but it may change the color of your fudge. 
• Can't find white chocolate chips at your local store? You can use white chocolate bars instead. Just make sure that grab a plain chocolate bar and not one with additions like nuts. 
• For a little peppermint flavor add a half teaspoon of peppermint extract to the fudge mixture before spreading it in the baking dish.
