Description
Creamy, chocolatey Peppermint Swirl Fudge with a cool mint finish and crunchy candy topping. Quick to prep, no-bake, and perfectly festive for gifting or holiday dessert platters.
Ingredients
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
3 cups white chocolate chips
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tsp peppermint extract
1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies
Red food coloring (optional)
Instructions
1. Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment, leaving overhang on two sides for easy lifting.
2. In two microwave-safe bowls, add white chocolate chips to one and semi-sweet chips to the other.
3. Melt each bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between bursts until smooth; or use a double boiler for gentle melting.
4. Stir half of the condensed milk into the white chocolate until glossy and smooth.
5. Stir the remaining half of the condensed milk into the semi-sweet chocolate until glossy and smooth.
6. Add peppermint extract to the white chocolate mixture and stir to combine.
7. Pour half of the semi-sweet mixture into the pan and spread evenly; spoon half of the white mixture on top. Repeat layering with the remaining mixtures.
8. Gently swirl a knife through the layers with large movements to create a marbled effect.
9. Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies evenly over the top. If desired, dot with red food coloring and lightly swirl for a candy-cane look.
10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set and firm to the touch.
11. Lift the slab out using the parchment overhang. Slice into small squares and serve chilled.
Notes
Let chocolate and condensed milk come to room temperature before melting for smoother results.
Swirl gently with broad strokes so colors stay distinct and do not over-mix.
Leave some peppermint pieces larger for extra crunch and festive texture.
Chill completely before cutting to get clean edges and tidy squares.
