Servings: 32
Ingredients
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk (divided)
- 9 oz semi sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 9 oz white chocolate chips
- 2 TBS butter (divided)
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
- 3 TBS crushed candy cane pieces
Instructions
- Separate your sweetened condensed milk evenly into two medium sized microwave safe bowls.
- Add your chocolate chips to one of the bowls, and your milk chocolate chips to the other.
- Add 1 TBS of butter to each of the bowls.
- Microwave the chocolate bowl for about 30 seconds, then stir. Microwave for another 30 seconds and stir till fudge is totally smooth. (Microwave longer if needed)
- Pour the chocolate mixture into a 9x9in baking dish lined with foil or parchment paper and smooth the top with a rubber spatula.
- Microwave the white chocolate bowl for about 30 seconds, then stir. Microwave again for 30 seconds and stir till fudge is totally smooth.
- Stir the peppermint extract into the white chocolate mixture.
- Pour the white chocolate fudge over the chocolate fudge and spread around evenly.
- Sprinkle crushed candy cane pieces over the top of the fudge and press lightly into the top.
- Allow the fudge to set for several hours at room temperature till hard, or put the fudge in the fridge for about 1 hour for a quicker set.
- Slice and serve. Store any extras in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Peppermint pieces start to soften after too long.
