PEPPERMINT CANDY CANE FUDGE
I don’t know about you guys but the stress of the holidays hit me today. Since we live so far away from family we have to ship everything far and December 15th is pretty much the last day to mail anything to ensure that it’s not late.
INGREDIENTS
- WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIPS OR VANILLA CHIPS
- SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK
- CANDY CANES
- PEPPERMINT FLAVORING
-
Line an 8 inch square baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
-
Combine the vanilla chips and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until mixture melts, remove from heat and continue to stir and melt until smooth. When chips are completely melted, quickly stir in the peppermint extract, food coloring, and candy canes reserving 1/2 cup for the top.
-
Pour fudge mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared pan and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup on top and gently press down. Chill for 2 hours, then cut into squares.
A couple of years ago I decided to do all my baking on Christmas Eve for neighbors and friends. I don’t know what I was thinking.
I literally had aching legs by the end of the day and felt like I didn’t spend any time with my kids besides baking – and let’s face it, with kids it’s equal parts stress and fun.
What I took away from that day is don’t wait until Christmas Eve, make things that can be prepared ahead of time. I always make these Oreo Truffles (which can be frozen), Saltine Cracker, Sugar Cookies, and some type of fudge.
This fudge I literally made in under five minutes. I’m not gonna lie to you, I will always choose chocolate over anything white chocolate. With that being said, I really enjoyed this fudge. If you’re a white chocolate lover, you will too!
