Ingredients

Main Ingredients

▢ 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips
▢ 1.5 cups sweetened condensed milk one 14 oz can
▢ 0.25 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
▢ 0.5 cup peppermint candies crushed for topping

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to lift the fudge out easily.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies over the top, pressing them slightly into the fudge.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm.
Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut into squares.

Notes

For variation, try using different flavor extracts or additional mix-ins like nuts or dried fruit.
