Preparation:

1: Prepare the Pan

• Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring enough overhang for easy removal.
• Lightly grease the parchment with non-stick spray or butter.

2: Melt the Chocolate

• In a medium saucepan, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.
• Heat over low-medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

3: Add Color and Flavor

• Remove the saucepan from the heat.
• Stir in the vanilla extract and food coloring (if using) until fully incorporated.

4: Pour and Smooth

• Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan.
• Use a spatula to spread it evenly and ensure the surface is smooth.

5: Decorate

• Sprinkle Valentine-themed sprinkles generously over the top.
• Lightly press the sprinkles into the fudge to ensure they stick.

6: Chill

• Refrigerate the fudge for 2–3 hours, or until completely set.

7: Cut into Heart Shapes

• Remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment overhang.
• Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut the fudge into hearts.
• Re-roll and cut any scraps to maximize servings.
