Peppermint Christmas Fudge

Ingredients

1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk

1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips

1 cup white chocolate chips

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract

1/3 cup crushed candy canes, divided (about 5 regular-sized candy canes, crushed)


Instructions

Line an 8×8 square pan with aluminum foil, lightly butter the sides and bottom of the foil, and set aside.

Divide the condensed milk equally into two separate small/medium saucepans, adding bittersweet chocolate chips to one pan and white chocolate chips to the other.

Melt chocolate chips over medium heat, stirring constantly until completely melted.

Once the chocolate has melted, remove from heat. Stir vanilla extract into dark chocolate and immediately spread evenly into prepared pan.

Add peppermint extract to white chocolate, then stir in 1/4 cup crushed peppermint pieces and immediately spread evenly over chocolate layer.

While still hot, sprinkle fudge with remaining crushed peppermint pieces.

Allow fudge to harden at room temperature for 4-6 hours, or 1-2 hours in the fridge, before cutting. Enjoy!
