Peppermint Fudge Recipe – 2 Ways
I firmly believe my peppermint fudge recipe is the best tasting treat for Christmas. Creamy like all classic fudge recipes with just enough mint flavor to bring out that peppermint flavor. Crushed candy canes add texture that makes it a great option for a special treat during the holidays. It also makes a great present to gift to friends and family this year, or even to bring to your next holiday party.
Ingredients you will need for White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge:
- White chocolate chips
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Crushed candy canes
Ingredients you will need for Chocolate Peppermint Fudge:
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Crushed candy canes
More Things You Will Need
- 8 x8 inch baking pan
- Parchment paper
- Double boiler
- Stirring spoon
How To Make Peppermint Fudge
- Start by preparing the baking dish with parchment paper. Then, you will use a double boiler to melt your chocolate. Use the top part of the pot to combine the chocolate chips and condensed milk.
- Heat on medium to high heat stirring it while it melts. As soon as it is fully melted, add in the cup of crushed candy cane pieces.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and then sprinkle with the rest of the crushed candy canes. Press them down slightly so they don’t fall off when you cut the fudge later.
I recommend refrigerating it for 4-6 hours to set before cutting. You could also place it in the freezer for 2-4 hours instead. When ready to slice, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between slices.
Candy Cane Fudge makes a wonderful Holidays gift that everyone always loves. Place the fudge in a festive tin can or line up on a Christmas plate to give to your neighbors, friends and family.
How Long is Peppermint Fudge Good For?
You can store fudge at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Make sure that the fudge is stored in an airtight container so it doesn’t get hard or stale. I have found that you can store fudge for up to one month when wrapped properly in the refrigerator.
Can I Make This Microwave Fudge Instead?
If you wanted to make this a microwave fudge, you can heat it in the microwave instead. You will heat it in 30-second increments until it is hot and the chocolate has melted. Between each heating time, you want to stir the mixture well.
