Description
Creamy, rich, and beautifully swirled with white and semi-sweet chocolate, this Peppermint Swirl Fudge is the ultimate festive treat. With crunchy candy cane topping and a hint of peppermint extract, it’s perfect for the holidays—or any time you’re craving a sweet minty bite.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups white chocolate (chopped or chips)
1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate (chopped or chips)
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk (divided)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon peppermint extract
¼ cup crushed candy canes
Instructions
1. Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
2. In one bowl, combine ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate, and 1 tablespoon butter. In a second bowl, combine the remaining condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate, and 1 tablespoon butter.
3. Melt both mixtures separately in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, or use a double boiler until smooth.
4. Stir vanilla extract into the white chocolate mixture and peppermint extract into the semi-sweet mixture.
5. Alternate spoonfuls of each mixture into the prepared pan. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the two chocolates together for a marbled look.
6. Sprinkle crushed candy canes over the top and press gently so they adhere.
7. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until completely firm.
8. Lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment and cut into squares.
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate bars for best melting and texture.
Don’t over-swirl the mixture or you’ll lose the pretty marble effect.
Store in an airtight container to maintain texture—especially if topping with candy canes, which can soften over time.
