Fudge Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Green food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent the fudge from sticking and to make removal easier.
- Melt the butter: In a saucepan, melt the 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over low heat to avoid burning and ensure a smooth base.
- Add white chocolate and condensed milk: Stir in 2 cups of white chocolate chips and the entire 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk, continuing to stir until all the chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- flavor the fudge: Mix in 1 teaspoon peppermint extract and 1/4 teaspoon salt to enhance the minty and sweet flavors. If desired, add a few drops of green food coloring to give the fudge a festive look and stir until fully incorporated.
- Pour and refrigerate: Pour the finished mixture into the prepared baking dish evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is fully set and firm.
- Cut and serve: Remove the fudge from the dish using the parchment paper, cut into 16 squares, and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
