Make rich, creamy peppermint fudge using sweetened condensed milk. This easy, no-bake recipe is perfect for holiday treats and gifting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 (12 ounce) bags white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1 cup crushed candy canes, divided

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate chips.
  3. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth. This usually takes 1.5 to 2 minutes total.
  4. Stir in the peppermint extract until combined.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup of the crushed candy canes.
  6. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of crushed candy canes over the top. Gently press them into the fudge surface.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to slice cleanly.
  9. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares for serving or gifting.

Notes

  • For the creamiest texture, use high-quality white chocolate chips.
  • If you want a peppermint swirl effect, reserve half the fudge mixture, gently fold peppermint extract into the other half, layer them in the pan, and swirl lightly with a knife before topping with candy canes.
  • Store the finished fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerate for longer storage.
