Peppermint Fudge
This Peppermint Fudge is an easy fudge recipe that's so simple to throw together and will be the favorite of your parties!
Servings: 30 squares
Ingredients
- 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract or more to taste
- Optional: crushed candy canes to top
Instructions
- In a large sauce pot, add in chocolate chips, condensed milk, butter, and peppermint extract.
- Over low heat, stir constantly until combined. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to avoid any chocolate burning.
- Pour mixture into a 8-inch x 8-inch pan and even out the top. (11x7 or 9x13 will work as well, though a larger pan will yield a thinner batch of fudge.
- If you're putting crushed candy canes on, let cool for 10 minutes and sprinkle on top.
- Cool in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours before cutting. Cut into 1 inch pieces and serve!
Notes
- Microwave – Easy, but temperamental with the chocolate and condensed milk. Great if you’re short on time. Put all the ingredients in a large bowl and zap it 30 seconds at a time until everything is combined.
- Stovetop with sauce pot- Again, easy. I just use a sauce pot and consistently stir the mixture to make sure nothing gets stuck on the bottom. Be sure to keep watching and stirring!
- Stovetop with double boiler – Also easy, but I know not everyone has a double boiler. You can stick a glass bowl on top of a sauce pot with simmering water over it to give you the double boiler effect. It’s more consistent for the chocolate and lessens your chance for having your chocolate burn!
