Make creamy, melt-in-your-mouth peppermint fudge using simple ingredients. This no-bake recipe is perfect for holiday gifting or festive dessert trays.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
  2. In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.
  3. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted. This usually takes 1 to 2 minutes total. Do not overheat.
  4. Stir in the peppermint extract and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Gently fold in about 3/4 cup of the crushed candy canes, reserving the rest for the topping.
  6. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of crushed candy canes over the top of the fudge. Gently press them into the surface.
  8. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 3 hours, or until firm enough to slice.
  9. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares before serving or packaging.

Notes

  • For a swirl effect, divide the melted fudge base in half. Stir peppermint extract into one half. Layer spoonfuls of both mixtures into the pan and gently swirl with a knife before topping with candy canes.
  • If you prefer a stovetop method, melt the chocolate and condensed milk together in a double boiler over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
  • Store the finished fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
