Chocolate peppermint fudge is an easy, 4-ingredient, superfast recipe. Silky, fudgy, and with a truly gorgeous peppermint flavor, this chocolate Christmas fudge is a bombshell that keeps well in the fridge to boot!
Combine the condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butter in a large heat-proof bowl.
Melt it all together in the microwave. Stirring every 30 seconds, until the mixture is smooth, thick, and shiny. This took me 1 1/2 minutes. You can use a double-boiler or place the ingredients in a heavy-bottomed pan and melt on low heat. If you use these methods, it will take about 8-10 minutes for everything to melt. Please make sure you are constantly stirring this mixture.
Let the mixture cool for a few minutes, then add the peppermint extract. Mix well.
Pour into a parchment paper-lined 8" square pan.
Smoothen the top and sprinkle some crushed candy cane and sea salt flakes if you want. Press them down gently.
Refrigerate for 2 hours or until set. Cut into small squares and serve. Enjoy!For the best taste, serve at room temperature!
