Ingredients
  

For the Fudge Base
  • 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk Adds a creamy sweetness that binds the ingredients without baking.
  • 1 cup White Chocolate Chips Provides a smooth, sweet base for fudgy goodness.
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Balances out the sweetness, adding depth.
For Flavoring and Swirling
  • 1 teaspoon Peppermint Extract Infuses the fudge with a fresh minty burst.
  • 1 cup Crushed Peppermint Candies Offers festive crunch; can substitute with crushed candy canes.
  • 2 drops Red Food Coloring Optional for visual appeal in the peppermint swirl.

Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • 8x8-inch square baking dish
  • Parchment Paper
  • knife or skewer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate chips over low heat. Stir continuously for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  2. Once smooth, remove from heat and stir in the peppermint extract. Divide the mixture in half and add semi-sweet chocolate chips to one half, stirring until melted.
  3. Add a few drops of red food coloring to the white chocolate half and gently stir until desired swirl effect.
  4. Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Pour the white chocolate mixture into the dish, smoothing it out.
  5. Spoon dollops of the semi-sweet chocolate mixture on top and swirl together using a knife or skewer.
  6. Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies over the top, pressing lightly into the surface.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours or until firm, then cut into squares.

Notes

Ensure no moisture gets into chocolate while melting. Warm sweetened condensed milk before mixing for a smooth blend. Press the candies into the fudge to maintain crunch when served.
