Easy Peppermint Fudge

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 5 minutes
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: About 25 pieces of fudge 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the fudge:

  • 1 – 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 1 pound good quality dark chocolate chips/chunks
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract (I used 1/2 teaspoon)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the top/bottom:

  • 1 cup Andes Peppermint Chunks
  • 1 peppermint candy cane, crushed

Instructions

  1. Line a 9x9x2-inch pan with wax paper, then spray the wax paper with cooking spray. Spread 1/2 cup of the Andex peppermint chunks across the wax paper, trying to get it as evenly distributed as possible.
  2. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, stir together the fudge ingredients. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir well, watching to see how well the chocolate is melting. Microwave another 30 seconds, stir again, trying to get all the chocolate to melt just by stirring. If necessary, microwave another 30 seconds and stir some more and repeat until the chocolate is all melted and the mixture is shiny and smooth.
  3. Once all the chocolate is melted and the mixture is the texture of a very thick cake batter, pour into the pan, trying to get parts of it all over the pan. Use a spatula to spread the fudge evenly over the pan, then sprinkle with the rest of the Andes peppermint chunks and the crushed candy cane. Press down gently with your hand on the candy to push the candy into the fudge. The Andes chunks will melt a bit–this is good.
  4. Put in a cool place (such as the fridge) until the fudge is completely cooled, at least two hours or longer. Cut into 1-inch squares using a knife heated under hot tap water, rinsing the knife again in hot water between cuts.
  5. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to eat.

Notes

Total time does not include cooling or cutting time for the fudge.
