Candy Cane Fudge Recipe

Christmas fudge gifts are high on my list for gift giving and receiving too.

Feel free to make me some peppermint fudge because everyone loves receiving a foodie gift for the holidays, myself included, especially when you make it with love.

Gifts from the heart always mean the most and taking the time to make our white chocolate peppermint fudge will show just how much you care.

So easy to make, all you need is a microwave and just six ingredients!

Sweetened condensed milk mixes with bittersweet chocolate for a rich chocolate layer that compliments a top layer of sweetened condensed milk with white chocolate chips.

Flavored with a few drops of peppermint extract and adorned with bits of green and red candy cane, our holiday fudge is sure to please and so easy to make.

This easy peppermint fudge recipe, similar to a peppermint bark fudge, will quickly become a holiday favorite.

I make commissions for purchases made through links in this post.

Pick up some pretty holiday tins and you’re all set with an edible gift that’s thoughtful, delicious, beautiful and from the heart all in one!
