Ingredients

  • 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups Dark chocolate chips 55%
  • 2 tbsp Butter I used salted butter. You can use unsalted butter and add 1/4 tsp salt to the mixture.
  • 1/2 tsp Peppermint extract
  • Crushed candy canes for topping Optional
  • Sea salt flakes for topping
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • 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 1.5 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!

Notes

  • Don’t overheat the chocolate. Stir constantly so the chocolate doesn’t seize or burn.
  • Make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature. This helps in even and quick blending and also ensures that the chocolate doesn't seize.
  • Make sure the mixture cools a bit before you whisk in the peppermint extract.
  • Give the chocolate and peppermint fudge a lot of time in the fridge to set properly.
  • A hot, sharp knife makes clean cuts. Dip in warm water, wipe, slice.
  • The fudge tastes best at room temperature. So be sure to take it out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving.
