Description
A delicious combination of creamy fudge and crunchy peppermint, perfect for gifting or holiday treats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp peppermint extract (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips (for layer)
- 1/2 cup crushed candy canes or peppermints (reserve some for topping)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 pan with parchment, leaving an overhang for removal. Measure and chop chocolate if not using chips. Lightly crush peppermints in a heavy zip-top bag and reserve some larger shards.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk. Melt gently over a double boiler or in the microwave until smooth. Stir in vanilla and peppermint extract. Pour into prepared pan and smooth to an even layer.
- Chill until slightly set, about 20–30 minutes.
- Melt semisweet/dark chocolate and allow it to cool slightly, then gently spread over the semi-set white layer.
- Immediately after spreading, sprinkle crushed peppermint across the top and press lightly to adhere.
- Transfer to refrigerator until fully set. Remove from pan using parchment overhang and slice with a warm, dry knife.
Notes
Store fudge in an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze wrapped squares for up to 3 months.
