LAYERED PEPPERMINT FUDGE INGREDIENTS

You will need:

• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups white chocolate chips
• 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
• ¾ cup crushed candy canes, divided

SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS

Some recipes also call for adding one cup of marshmallows in, so that’s a yummy option as well.

You could also use dark chocolate chips, instead of semi-sweet, if you prefer. 

HOW TO MAKE LAYERED PEPPERMINT FUDGE

STEP ONE: In a medium saucepan over LOW heat melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips along with half of the sweetened condensed milk.

STEP TWO:  Line a 9×9 pan with foil and spray with nonstick spray. Pour the chocolate into the prepared pan and place in the refrigerator to chill while you do the next step.

STEP THREE: Next melt the white chocolate chips along with the sweetened condensed milk in a medium saucepan over LOW heat. When chips are almost all melted remove from heat and stir in the peppermint extract. Stir in ¼ cup of the crushed candy canes.

STEP FOUR: Pour the white chocolate over the chilled semi-sweet chocolate.

STEP FIVE: Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of candy canes over the top of the white chocolate and gently press down into the fudge.

STEP SIX: Refrigerate until set for 2-3 hours or overnight. Remove from pan by lifting out the foil. Peel away the foil and cut into bite-size serving pieces

How to Store

Fudge should be kept in an airtight container to keep it fresh. It will last on the counter for up to two weeks. 

PRO TIP: Place sheets of wax paper in between layers of your fudge to keep it from sticking to each other. 

Rich and delicious, this layered peppermint fudge is an irresistible treat for the holidays. Boasting the flavors of Christmas with tasty chocolate and fresh peppermint, this is the perfect homemade candy to enjoy and share.
