Instructions
- Prepare the baking vessel by lining an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage and slight overhang for easy removal.
- Create the fudge base by gently melting white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously until perfectly smooth and glossy.

- Carefully transfer the green mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to distribute evenly and create a uniform surface.
- Stabilize the fudge by chilling in the refrigerator for 2 hours or freezing for approximately 1 hour until completely firm and set.
- Release the fudge from the pan using parchment paper edges, then slice into bite-sized square pieces with a sharp knife.

- Serve immediately or store in a sealed container within the refrigerator, maintaining freshness for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
