Print Recipe

A quick and easy holiday treat featuring smooth, creamy white chocolate fudge with a refreshing peppermint kick and crunchy crushed candy canes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups white chocolate chips (about 510g)
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk (approximately 396g)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (30g), softened
  • 1 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
  • 3/4 cup crushed candy canes (about 90g)
  • Optional: a few drops red food coloring

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting some overhang on the sides for easy removal. Set aside.
  2. Combine white chocolate chips and softened butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler over simmering water.
  3. Stir the sweetened condensed milk into the melted white chocolate mixture until smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. Add peppermint extract and stir well. If desired, mix in a few drops of red food coloring until the desired shade is reached.
  5. Fold in crushed candy canes, reserving about 1/4 cup for topping.
  6. Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved crushed candy canes on top, pressing lightly to stick.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm. Cover loosely with plastic wrap to avoid absorbing fridge odors.
  8. Use the parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into small squares and serve.

Notes

Use gentle heat when melting white chocolate to avoid scorching. Fold candy canes gently to keep crunchy texture. Chill fudge fully for clean cuts. Use a warm knife dipped in hot water for smooth slicing. For dairy-free, substitute dairy-free white chocolate and vegan condensed milk. Adjust peppermint extract carefully to avoid overpowering flavor.
