Ingredients
- 2 cups White chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
- 5 drops Red food coloring
- 0.25 cup Crushed candy canes
- 24 pieces Mini cupcake liners
Directions
Step 1
Line a mini muffin tin with 24 mini cupcake liners.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Place over low heat and stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peppermint extract. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavor.
Step 4
Divide the melted fudge mixture into two separate bowls. Add red food coloring to one bowl and mix thoroughly to achieve a uniform red color, leaving the other bowl white.
Step 5
Using a spoon or piping bag, layer a small amount of the white mixture into each cupcake liner. Gently tap the tray on the counter to smooth out the layer.
Step 6
Next, add a layer of the red mixture on top of the white layer. Repeat as desired to create a striped effect, finishing with a red layer on top.
Step 7
Sprinkle crushed candy canes over the top of each fudge cup for a festive crunch.
Step 8
Place the tray in the refrigerator and allow the fudge cups to set for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Step 9
Once set, remove the peppermint fudge cups from the liners and serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
