Easy Festive Mint Fudge

This is a quick and easy fudge to make, and it's perfect for last-minute entertaining.

 

Ingredients:

• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (12 ounces)
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips or white chocolate chips (6 ounces)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon peppermint flavoring
• 4 candy canes

Preparation:

Lightly grease a 9-inch square pan; line with a piece of plastic wrap about 18 to 24 inches in length, leaving the ends out to cover the finished fudge. The ends will also serve as "handles" which will help you lift the fudge out of the pan.Heat the condensed milk, chocolate chips, butter, and peppermint in a double boiler over simmering water. Stir until the chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Put broken up candy canes in a small plastic food storage bag. Gently thump with a rolling pin to break up into small pieces. Don't hit too hard or you'll have peppermint candy dust. Pour into the prepared pan. Spread gently then cover lightly with the ends of the plastic wrap. Chill until firm. Lift out of the pan and cut into small squares.
