Prep Time
15 minutes
Total Time
15 minutes
Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 - 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 cup marshmallow cream
- pink gel food color
- 6 tablespoons crushed candy canes
- 1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 pan with foil or parchment paper.
- Combine the white chips and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until melted and creamy.
- Stir in the extract, marshmallow cream, candy canes, and a small amount of gel food coloring until the desired shade of pink is achieved. Remove from heat and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Stir in the chocolate chips very quickly. Do not stir too much, or the chocolate chips will melt completely. Some swirling is to be expected. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Let set for 6-8 hours or overnight before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Line the pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper so you can easily remove the fudge from the pan.
- Crush unwrapped candies in a resealable plastic bag. Seal and crush with a wooden spoon, or go over it with a rolling pin.
- Use red and green candy canes for even more color in the sweet treat.
- Heat the chocolate over low heat because white chocolate can quickly burn or scorch.
- Add more crushed candy to the top of the fudge before it sets up. I don't personally recommend it because the candy can get sticky and wet the longer it sits.
- Allow the fudge to completely cool and become solid before cutting it into pieces.
- Run a large knife under hot water and dry it off to make clean cuts in the white chocolate fudge. Press it into the block of fudge, making one long cut. Do not drag or saw with the knife. Repeat for each cut.
