Peppermint White Chocolate Fudge Delight

Ingredients

- 2 cups white chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup finely crushed peppermint candy canes
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 3 drops red food coloring (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, have all your ingredients measured and handy. Crush the peppermint candy canes finely for a smooth integration into the fudge.

2. Melt the White Chips: In a medium-sized saucepan over low heat, combine the white chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly to prevent any burning, allowing the white chips to melt completely into the milk. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add Peppermint Flavor: Once the mixture is smooth and well combined, remove from heat. Stir in the peppermint extract. If you prefer a minty red swirl, add three drops of red food coloring and gently swirl with a spoon, avoiding a full mix.

4. Incorporate Crushed Candy Canes: Gently fold in the finely crushed peppermint candy canes until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

5. Pour and Set: Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some to hang over the sides for easy removal later. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.

6. Chill to Firm: Place the dish in the refrigerator, allowing the fudge to cool and firm up completely. This should take approximately 2 hours.

7. Cut and Serve: After the fudge is fully set, lift it from the dish using the parchment paper. Cut into squares using a sharp knife, enjoying the festive touch of the dispersed peppermint candy and optional red swirls.
