Easy Peppermint Fudge

Olivia Daly
Perfectly sweet, super easy chocolate peppermint fudge that's great for cookie tins and can be made in the microwave. No baking skills or stove required!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 300mL/10oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 400g/14oz semi sweet or dark chocolate (I like to use half and half)
  • 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 tsp peppermint extract
  • 2 candy canes, crushed

Instructions
 

  • Line an 8x8 pan. Set aside.
  • Add chocolate, milk and butter to large microwave safe bowl. Heat in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until fully combined. You can also heat the mixture up over a double boiler if you prefer.
  • Stir in the peppermint extract and pour the mixture into the lined pan. Gently even it out with a spatula. Sprinkle the crushed candy cane (*see notes) on top. Push down a little on the candy cane so it sticks into the top of the fudge.
  • Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours or until firm. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks and enjoy!

Notes

*To crush the candy canes, place them in a reusable or disposable bag and seal it. Hit the candy canes with something heavy like a rolling pin until all the large pieces are crushed.
