This rich and creamy chocolate fudge is infused with a hint of peppermint and topped with crushed candy canes, making it a festive treat for the holidays.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • ½ cup crushed candy canes (for topping)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  • Melt Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
  • Add Extracts: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla and peppermint extracts until well combined.
  • Pour into Pan: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  • Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the top of the fudge, gently pressing them into the surface.
  • Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
  • Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a nutty variation, consider adding ½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the fudge mixture before pouring it into the pan.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
