Peppermint Fudge Recipe
The most complicated thing about this recipe is seriously waiting on it to be ready to cut and eat!
How to Make Peppermint Fudge
To make this Peppermint Fudge, line an 8×8 baking dish with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides. This will prevent fudge from sticking to your pan and to make it easy to remove from the pan when ready to cut into pieces.
Add the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and the salt to a heavy bottomed saucepan. Cook the mixture over medium-low heat until the chocolate chips are melted. Then, remove from the heat, stir in the vanilla and fold in the chopped peppermint bark. You don’t want to melt the peppermint bark by stirring it in the hot fudge, so be sure to just carefully fold it in.
Finally, spread the Peppermint Fudge into your foil-lined pan and sprinkle the crushed peppermint on top. Refrigerate in an airtight container for about 2 hours until is is hardened.
That’s it! Now, isn’t that about as easy as it gets?
You just have to sit back and enjoy the delicious minty flavor and accept all the praise when everyone else tastes it.
