peppermint bark fudge

This recipe is so easy and it is delicious. I only intended to make it one time for the Sisters I Visit Teach. Buuuut, it was so good I decided I needed to make it again. I chopped up a Giardelli dark chocolate and peppermint candy bar the first time I made this and sprinkled it on the top instead of the crushed candy canes. The second time I made it I used the crushed candy canes and it was good, but the candy canes became soggy when I stored the fudge in the fridge. It's delicious both ways, but it will store longer without candy canes on top.

Ingredients

  • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk (396g)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (175g)
  • 1 cup premium white chocolate chips (175g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract optional
  • 1/3 cup crushed candy canes divided. About 5 regular-sized candy canes, crushed (75g)

Instructions

  1. Line an 8x8 square pan with aluminum foil and lightly butter the sides and bottom of the foil.  Set aside.
  2. Divide condensed milk equally into two separate small/medium saucepans (just over 1/2 cup in each pan).  
  3. Add dark chocolate chips to one pan and white chocolate chips to the other.
  4. Melt chocolate chips over medium heat, stirring constantly until completely melted.  
  5. Once chocolate has melted, remove dark chocolate mixture from heat and stir in vanilla extract.  Immediately spread evenly into prepared pan.
  6. Once white chocolate has melted, remove from heat and stir in mint extract, if using.  Stir in 1/4 cup (50g) crushed peppermint pieces and immediately spread evenly over chocolate layer.
  7. Immediately sprinkle with remaining crushed peppermint pieces.
  8. Allow fudge to harden completely before slicing and serving (about 4-6 hours at room temperature, or about 1-2 hours in refrigerator).
