Description

This Peppermint Swirl Fudge is a festive and delicious treat perfect for holiday celebrations or anytime you crave a sweet, minty bite. Featuring layers of rich semi-sweet and creamy white chocolate fudge swirled together and topped with crushed peppermint candies, this no-bake recipe is easy to make with just a few ingredients and simple microwave melting techniques.

Ingredients

Chocolate Layer

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 7 oz sweetened condensed milk (half of a 14 oz can)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Pinch of salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)

White Chocolate Layer

  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 7 oz sweetened condensed milk (remaining half of the 14 oz can)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

Topping

  • 1/3 cup crushed peppermint candies

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal of the fudge. Lightly grease the parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt the chocolate layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, half of the sweetened condensed milk (7 oz), 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
  3. Melt the white chocolate layer: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with the remaining sweetened condensed milk (7 oz) and 1 tablespoon butter. Stir until smooth, then blend in the peppermint extract evenly.
  4. Layer and swirl: Spread the melted semi-sweet chocolate mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Carefully pour the white chocolate mixture over the top. Using a skewer or knife, gently swirl the two mixtures together to create a marbled peppermint swirl effect.
  5. Add the topping: Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies evenly over the top of the fudge, gently pressing them into the surface so they adhere.
  6. Chill to set: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours, or until the fudge is fully firm and set.
  7. Slice and serve: Once set, use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Cut into 36 small squares using a sharp knife. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use good-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture.
  • Be careful not to overheat the chocolate in the microwave to avoid burning.
  • The crushed peppermint candies add a festive crunch but can be omitted or substituted with other toppings if preferred.
  • Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • This recipe is best enjoyed chilled straight from the fridge but can be left at room temperature for a short while before serving for a softer texture.
