Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups good quality white chocolate chips or bars
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1 cup crushed peppermint candies or peppermint bark
  • Optional: pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. Lightly grease the parchment if desired.
  2. Gentle Melting is Key: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate bars), and unsalted butter. Place over low to medium-low heat, stirring constantly until melted and smooth.
  3. Achieve Smoothness: Stir until the mixture is silky smooth and shiny, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat immediately once fully melted.
  4. Flavor It Up: Stir in peppermint extract and optional pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly and taste to adjust peppermint flavor if needed.
  5. Pour and Spread: Quickly pour the hot fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly into all corners.
  6. Add the Bark Topping: Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies or chopped peppermint bark over the top of the warm fudge and gently press down.
  7. Chill to Set: Transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2-3 hours until completely firm.
  8. Cut and Serve: Once firm, lift the fudge out using the parchment overhang and cut into 1-inch squares.

Nutrition

Keywords: For best results, use high-quality white chocolate and maintain low, gentle heat while melting. Experiment with different extracts for flavor variations.
