Instructions
- Lightly grease an 8 x 8-inch baking pan. Line the pan with parchment paper, allowing the excess paper to overhang the sides, set aside.
- In a large, heatproof bowl combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate, and butter; set aside.
- Fill a saucepan with water (you want it about 1/4 full) and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to barely a simmer. Place your heatproof glass bowl holding your ingredients on top of the pot.
- Stir frequently, until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is completely smooth, about 8 minutes.
- Remove from heat. The mixture will be very thick. Using a sturdy spatula, stir in the peppermint and vanilla extract. Then scrape the fudge into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Gently run a butter knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the fudge. Remove the fudge and transfer it to a cutting board.
- Peel off parchment paper, then slice the fudge into small pieces. Serve at once or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. You may also freeze the fudge, in an airtight freezer safe container for up to two months.
