Ingredients
Scale
- Chocolate Base:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- Peppermint Swirl:
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter over low heat. Stir continuously until melted and smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the peppermint extract.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix the crushed peppermint candies with a tablespoon of the fudge mixture to create a swirl. Drop spoonfuls of this mixture over the fudge.
- Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the peppermint mixture into the fudge for a marbled effect.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper and cut into squares.
Notes
- This fudge can be made up to a week in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- For a festive touch, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before refrigerating.
- Substitutions: Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor or white chocolate for a sweeter version.
