Peppermint white chocolate fudge is a decadent dessert and you can make it for the holidays with just about any candy, including peppermints. 

I broke the peppermint candies into smaller pieces, mixed them into the fudge and allowed it to set up for about an hour for a wonderful rich and decadent dessert. 

I love the holidays and all of the fun desserts that come along with it. This chocolate fudge recipe can be made year-round for different holidays (or just to munch on because it’s so yummy) by adding holiday candies. 

You can use Reese’s pieces for a Halloween look, or green and red M&M’s for Christmas, or even Cadbury Mini Eggs for Easter. 

If you love fudge, give this Reese’s Peanut Butter Fudge a try. It’s creamy and easy to make. 

What do I need to make the easy fudge recipe?

  • 2 – 11 oz. bags of white chocolate chips
  • 1 – 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
  • 25 peppermint candies

How to make fudge:

  1. Add both bags of white chocolate chips to a medium-sized bowl. 
  2. Next, pour in the sweetened condensed milk.
  3. Microwave for one minute and stir the ingredients. If the chocolate needs to melt more, microwave in increments of 30 seconds, stirring in between. 
  4. Remove the peppermint candy from the wrappers and add to a large Ziplock bag. Break the peppermints into smaller pieces. 
  5. Add half of the peppermint candy to the bowl of melted chocolate and stir. 
  6. Pour into a greased 8″ x 8″ casserole dish. 
  7. Sprinkle the remaining peppermints on top. 
  8. Allow the fudge to set up for at least one hour. If you’re in a hurry, you can place the fudge recipe into the refrigerator.
