TIPS FOR MAKING WHITE CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT FUDGE:

- 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.

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