Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Peppermint Candy Cane Fudge.
Step 1
To start your delicious fudge adventure, grab an 8-inch square baking pan and line it with aluminum foil, making sure to leave some overhang.
Step 2
This little trick will make it super easy to lift your fudge out later.
Step 3
Give the foil a light spray with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside for now.
Step 4
Next, in a medium saucepan, combine the creamy vanilla baking chips with sweetened condensed milk.
Step 5
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently as the chips begin to melt.
Step 6
Keep an eye on it and remove the pan from the heat just before the chips are fully melted.
Step 7
Continue stirring until you achieve a smooth and creamy mixture that’s simply irresistible.
Step 8
Now, it’s time to add some festive flair! Stir in the crushed candy canes, a splash of peppermint extract, and a hint of food coloring to give your fudge a cheerful pop.
Step 9
Mix everything together until it’s beautifully combined.
Step 10
Pour this delightful fudge mixture into your prepared pan, spreading it out evenly to create a luscious layer.
Step 11
Pop the pan into the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours, allowing the fudge to set perfectly.
Step 12
Once it’s firm and ready, gently lift the fudge out of the pan using the foil overhang.
Step 13
Cut it into squares, and get ready to share these sweet treats with friends and family.
Step 14
Enjoy every bite of your homemade peppermint fudge!.
