Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal later.
- Create the chocolate layer first by combining semi-sweet chocolate chips and half of the sweetened condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave the chocolate mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly with a spatula and creating a smooth first layer.
- Refrigerate the chocolate layer for approximately 10 minutes to partially set.
- For the white chocolate layer, melt white chocolate chips with remaining sweetened condensed milk using the same microwave method.
- Gently spread the white chocolate mixture over the partially set chocolate layer.
- Immediately sprinkle crushed peppermint candies across the top of the white chocolate layer.
- Refrigerate the entire pan for 2 hours or until fudge is completely firm and set.
- Using parchment paper edges, lift the fudge out of the pan and cut into 24 equal squares.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips
- • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the richest flavor and smoothest texture • Microwave chocolate in short intervals to prevent burning and ensure even melting • Allow each layer to partially set before adding the next for clean, distinct layers • Use parchment paper overhang for easy removal and perfect cutting • Crush peppermint candies just before sprinkling for maximum freshness and crunch • Refrigerate fudge completely before cutting to ensure clean, sharp edges • Store in an airtight container to maintain optimal texture and flavor • For a festive touch, consider using holiday-themed sprinkles or colored candies • Let fudge sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for the best taste and texture
