- 2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk divided
- 2 c white chocolate chips
- ½ tsp peppermint extract
- ¾ c crushed candy canes divided into ¼ c and ½ c
Instructions
- Start by preparing the pan. Take a 9x9 inch pan line it with foil and give it a coating of nonstick spray.
- Next let's melt the sweet chocolate. In a saucepan set on low heat combine 2 cups of sweet chocolate chips with half of the sweetened condensed milk (7 oz). Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Now pour the melted sweet chocolate into the prepared pan and place it in the refrigerator to cool down.
- While that's chilling let's melt the chocolate. Using another saucepan, on low heat combine 2 cups of chocolate chips with the remaining 7 oz of sweetened condensed milk. Remove from heat before it completely melts.
- To add some flavor to our fudge stir in ½ tsp of peppermint extract and ¼ cup of crushed candy canes into the melted white chocolate mixture.
- Take out the chilled sweet chocolate layer, from the fridge and pour over it this lovely peppermint-infused white chocolate mix to form a second layer.
- Lastly sprinkle on top a ½ cup of crushed candy canes. Gently press them into the fudge to give it some extra crunch and festive appeal.
- Now comes patience! Refrigerate your creation for around 2 to 3 hours. Even overnight until it sets perfectly.
- When you're ready to serve this treat lift out your fudge from the pan using the foil as handles. Carefully peel off the foil. Cut into pieces.
