Fudge Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed peppermint candies
Instructions
- Prepare baking dish: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent the fudge from sticking and make it easier to remove once set.
- Melt ingredients: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Stir continuously to ensure a smooth, melted mixture without burning.
- Mix in flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and crushed peppermint candies, evenly distributing the minty crunch throughout the fudge mixture.
- Pour and chill: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is fully set and firm enough to cut.
- Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper, cut into 24 squares, and serve as a festive holiday treat.
Notes
- Make sure to stir constantly while melting the mixture over low heat to avoid burning the chocolate.
- You can substitute crushed peppermint candies with candy canes or mint chocolates for a different texture.
- For firmer fudge, refrigerate longer if needed.
- This fudge is best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a festive twist, top the fudge with extra crushed peppermint candies before chilling.
