Notes

  • If you are looking to make this a vegan chocolate peanut butter fudge, be sure to use maple syrup and not honey.
  • If not freezing the fudge, refrigerated Peppermint Fudge is best enjoyed within 2 weeks.
  • Don’t cut or serve before the Peppermint Fudge is completely set.
  • When mixing your fudge, ideally use a silicone spatula, it's great for removing all the mix from the bottom of the bowl.
  • If you just want chocolate peanut butter fudge, you can omit the peppermint extract and the candy canes.
