You’ll need:

• 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk, divided in half
• 2 cups of white chocolate chips
• ½ teaspoon of peppermint extract
• ¾ cup of crushed peppermint candy canes, divided into ¼ cup and ½ cup

Substitutions And Additions

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

CHOCOLATE CHIPS: You could also use dark chocolate chips, instead of semi-sweet, in this easy fudge recipe if you prefer.

How To Make Chocolate 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 square pan with foil and spray with nonstick spray.

Pour the chocolate into the prepared pan and place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare 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 the white chips are almost all melted, remove them from the heat and stir in the peppermint extract.

Stir in ¼ cup of crushed candy canes.

STEP FOUR: Pour the white chocolate layer 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 top layer of fudge.

STEP SIX: Refrigerate until set for two to three hours or overnight.

STEP SEVEN: Remove from the pan by lifting out the foil. Peel away the foil and cut it into bite-size serving pieces.

Notes

• When melting chocolate, make sure your pans are completely clean and dry. You’ll also want to stir continually so nothing burns.
• To help cut the fudge after chilling, score a grid on the top of the fudge when it is barely set but still warm.
• The easiest way to crush candy canes is to put them in a Ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.
• Place sheets of wax paper in between layers of your fudge to keep the pieces from sticking to each other.
