It's just not the holidays without some kind of fudge, right? This easy recipe for peppermint fudge can be made on the stovetop or in the microwave. No candy thermometer is needed! This is one of my favorite holiday fudge recipes to make!
TIPS FOR MAKING PEPPERMINT FUDGE:
- White chocolate can burn. Be careful to not have the heat on too high, keep it on medium and let it melt. You can also melt it in the microwave, one minute at a time, stirring to make sure it is melted.
- Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for about 2 weeks but you can also keep the fudge (in an airtight container) in the fridge for 3-4 weeks. Fudge can also be frozen (again, in an airtight container) for up to 3 months.
- This recipe can easily be made in the microwave. Melt the white chocolate chips in 30 second intervals until completely melted then stir in sweetened condensed milk, chopped candies and peppermint extract and proceed with the rest of the directions.
- This easy fudge can be made with any of your favorite flavors of chocolate chips.

Do you really melt the white chocolate at 30 minute intervals? I think they meant 30 second intervals till melted.
