Easy Peppermint Fudge Recipe
Description
The recipe Easy Peppermint Fudge Recipe uses white baking chocolate melted together with sweetened condensed milk, butter, salt, and peppermint or vanilla flavoring to achieve a creamy, smooth base. Crushed peppermint candy is folded in for a minty crunch, with extra sprinkled on top before chilling. The fudge sets in a parchment-lined pan that makes removal and cutting easier.
The texture is dense and creamy with bursts of crunchy peppermint throughout, balanced by the soft sweetness of the white chocolate base. Melting the ingredients over medium heat with constant stirring helps avoid graininess and ensures a smooth fudge.
This peppermint fudge makes a festive treat for holidays or special occasions. Once chilled and cut into squares, it can be served as a sweet bite alongside coffee or packed for gifting.
