Cook Time

Ingredients

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/2 cup crushed candy canes

Equipment

  • 8-inch square baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Large microwave-safe bowl
  • Spatula

Method

  1. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal after the fudge sets.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.
  3. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir until smooth.
  4. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.

  6. Fold in the crushed candy canes.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality white chocolate chips. Avoid using white chocolate bars or baking chocolate, as they may not melt as smoothly. This recipe can easily be doubled to make a larger batch of fudge. To crush the candy canes, place them in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin or meat mallet to break them into small pieces.

Recipe Tips

Be sure to let the fudge set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares. If the fudge is still too soft, return it to the refrigerator for additional chilling time. For a more intense peppermint flavor, increase the amount of peppermint extract to 1 teaspoon. To make the fudge easier to cut, run a sharp knife under hot water and dry it off before slicing. Repeat this process as needed.
