Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz (397 g)
  • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract adjust to taste
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup crushed candy canes for topping

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • 8x8 inch baking pan
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until smooth and melted.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in peppermint extract and salt.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Sprinkle crushed candy canes evenly on top, gently pressing them into the fudge.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until firm. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

For a beautiful swirl effect, add a few drops of red food coloring and lightly swirl it into the mixture before adding the candy canes. Store fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
