Dark Chocolate Peppermint Fudge
Servings 8 people
Ingredients
- 1 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk (divided in half)
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract (divided)
- 7 candy canes (crushed and divided)
Instructions
- Prepare an 8x8 pan. Line it with aluminum foil and then liberally spray the aluminum foil with cooking spray.
- Divide the condensed milk into 2 separate microwavable bowls. (It should be ½ cup of the condensed milk in each bowl.
- Add 1 cup of dark chocolate chips to one of the bowls, and 1 cup of white chocolate chips to the other bowl.
- Microwave the bowl with the dark chocolate/condensed milk mixture first. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then 30 seconds again. Add in ¼ teaspoon of peppermint extract.
- Stir and then spread evenly in the prepared pan.
- Add your candy canes to a zip-top bag, seal the bag, then crush them. I just bang the bag on the counter but you could use a rolling pin or a meat mallet too. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the crushed candy for the topping.
- Microwave the other bowl of condensed milk and white chocolate chips. Again, microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then 30 seconds again.
- Add in ¼ teaspoon of the peppermint extract and the crushed peppermints. Stir to combine.
- Pour the white chocolate mixture over the dark chocolate and spread evenly. Immediately top with the reserved crushed candy canes.
- Refrigerate for 2 hours then you can lift the foil out and discard. Slice the fudge into bite size piece and enjoy!
