Ingredients:
2 cups white chocolate chips
6 oz sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup crushed candy cane
Instructions:
Prepare the Pan:
Line an 8×8-inch dish with parchment paper, ensuring that it overhangs on the sides for easy removal later.
Melt the Chocolate Mixture:
In a medium-sized glass bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.
Microwave the mixture on 50% heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval. Continue until the chocolate chips are fully melted, and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Transfer to the Pan:
Once the chocolate mixture is fully melted, transfer it into the prepared parchment-lined pan.
Add Crushed Candy Cane:
Sprinkle the crushed candy cane evenly over the melted chocolate mixture.
Gently press the crushed candy cane into the fudge mixture, ensuring it adheres well.
Set in the Refrigerator:
Place the pan in the refrigerator and let the fudge set for at least 4-6 hours. This allows it to firm up and develop the desired fudge consistency.
Freezing Option:
Alternatively, you can choose to freeze the fudge for 2-4 hours. If frozen, allow it to thaw in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before cutting.
Cutting and Serving:
Once the fudge has fully set, use the parchment paper overhangs to lift it out of the pan.
Place it on a cutting board and, using a sharp knife, cut the fudge into desired square or rectangular pieces.
Serve and enjoy the delightful combination of sweet white chocolate and the festive crunch of candy cane.
Storage:
Store any leftover candy cane fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for optimal freshness.
This Candy Cane Fudge makes for a delicious holiday treat, perfect for sharing with friends and family or as a festive addition to any holiday gathering.
