candy cane fudge
I can never find enough uses for condensed milk. My favorite part of baking with it is eating whatever doesn’t slide out of the can.
Last year I made white hot chocolate with candy cane stirrers for my friends. It was a hit, so I thought it might be fun to adapt a fudge recipe to the flavors of white chocolate and peppermint, thus utilizing another can of pure heaven.
candy cane fudge
3 cups (540g) white chocolate chips
1 14 ounce (400g) can sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon heavy cream
2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
15 drops peppermint essential oil (or 1/2 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
5 candy canes, crushed with a rolling pin
1. In a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, mix together chocolate chips, condensed milk, cream, and baking soda until smooth.
2. Remove from heat and stir in essential oil and 1/3 of the crushed candy canes.
3. Pour into a parchment lined 8×8 inch pan. Sprinkle with remaining candy canes. Refrigerate for 3 hours, or until set. For easier cutting, freeze for at least an hour. Lift parchment paper and fudge from pan and cut into 1 inch cubes.

Looks divine! I made Becky Higgins’ peppermint fudge last night, so I’ll make yours tonight and take them both to our Christmas Eve celebration!
Thanks for sharing such great recipes all year. You (help) make us look like good cooks! ha.
YUM! Yum! Yuuuum!
Yummy! Can you share your white hot chocolate recipe too? Thanks! Have a Merry Christmas!
This is what I did for the white hot chocolate:
Melt a few tablespoons of white chocolate chips in the microwave. Brush the melted chocolate on the rims of the mugs you will be using, and dip in crushed candy canes.
On low heat, simmer 3 cups of milk and 1 cup of cream. Whisk in 1 cup of chopped white chocolate (or white chocolate chips) and 2 teaspoons of vanilla. Drop in a few drops of peppermint oil, too, if desired. Serve with a candy cane stirrer.
Actually, wait! Make that 1 1/2 cups of chopped white chocolate!
What a great idea! I would imagine that it tasted similar to a peppermint bark. Pics are lovely too
Jaime. This fudge was divooooon. I fought the kids for it. Absolutely delectable.
Not to mention the shortbread.
The rugelach.
The pound cake.
The little Christmas tree cookies.
Oh. My. Gosh.
It was a very merry Christmas, indeed, when your precious plate of goodies arrived. THANK you for sharing the recipes. They are all my new favorites!
Aww, Brooke, you’re embarrassing me!
That is some delicious looking fudge! I love the color.
Just finished making these! They are delicious!! So quick and easy to make! I lined my pan with foil instead of parchment paper and the fudge kind of stuck to it even after being in the freezer for two hours… so stick to the parchment paper! I’m glad I stumbled across your recipe through a google search
