Ingredients

• 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
• 3 cups White chocolate chips
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1.5 tsp Peppermint extract
• 1 cup Crushed candy canes
• 1 tbsp Butter

Directions

Step 1

Lightly grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the fudge.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate chips over low heat.

Step 3

Stir the mixture constantly until the chocolate chips are completely melted, and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract until evenly combined.

Step 5

Fold in 3/4 cup of the crushed candy canes, saving the rest for topping.

Step 6

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of crushed candy canes evenly over the top, lightly pressing them into the surface of the fudge.

Step 8

Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate it for at least 2 hours or until set.

Step 9

Once the fudge has hardened, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper (if used) and cut it into 24 squares using a sharp knife.

Step 10

Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
