Peppermint Fudge
An easy peppermint fudge recipe made with just 3 simple ingredients. Perfect for Christmas and the holidays!
Ingredients
- 2 cups chocolate chips or chocolate wafers
- 6-8 Tablespoons sweetened condensed milk, to taste
- 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies
Instructions
- Line a loaf pan or small casserole dish with parchment paper and set aside.
- Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 25 seconds. Stir well and reheat as needed in 15-second increments, stirring after each, until the chocolate is smooth and completely melted.
- Stir the sweetened condensed milk into the melted chocolate. More sweetened condensed milk will result in a softer texture, less will result in a thicker, firmer fudge.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared dish, using an offset spatula to smooth into an even layer.
- Immediately sprinkle the top with crushed peppermint candies, pressing them gently into the wet fudge to help them stay in place.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours to allow the fudge to set. Once set, remove from pan, slice into small squares, and serve.
