Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup crushed peppermint candies
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Combine the sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth for the white layer.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and half of the crushed peppermint candies into the white chocolate mixture. Spread this mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely melted and smooth for the dark layer.
- Gently pour the melted dark chocolate mixture over the white layer. Spread carefully to cover the white layer completely.
- Sprinkle the remaining crushed peppermint candies over the top of the dark chocolate layer.
- Chill the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
- Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares.
Notes
- For cleaner layers, let the white layer set slightly at room temperature before pouring the dark layer on top.
- Use good quality white chocolate chips; they melt better.
- You can substitute the heavy cream with an equal amount of butter for a slightly different texture in the dark layer.
