Attention all peppermint bark lovers! ThisĀ Peppermint Bark Swirled Fudge is the ticket to sweet peppermint perfection. Swirled chocolate and white chocolate fudge topped with crunchy candy cane pieces and peppermint chips!
I’ll admit: I’m a peppermint bark freak.
You could peppermint barkify just about anything and I’d inhale it as if my life depended on it. And in a way, my life kind ofĀ does depend on peppermint bark: it’s one of my favorite seasonal treats by far.
And so I got to thinking:Ā I don’t have a whole lot of fudge recipes on my blog, and I don’t have a ton of peppermint bark recipes either.
That ^^ is precisely when the lightbulb moment happened. And the rest is blissfully delicious peppermint bark history.
This fudge has two layers swirled together: a chocolate layer, and a white chocolate peppermint layer. It’s super simple to make, because my fudge recipe is a no-brainer. Simply melt some chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk together, add some extract and voila. DONE. No joke!
Layer ’em up in a greased and foiled pan and let them set, which is by far the hardest part of the recipe. But if you practice patience with this recipe, I promise it’ll pay off big time!
Happy Fudge-Making! (Er, that sounds weird. Nevermind).
Peppermint Bark Swirled Fudge
Ingredients
- FOR CHOCOLATE FUDGE:
- 1 12 oz pkg semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- FOR WHITE CHOCOLATE FUDGE:
- 1 12 oz pkg white chocolate/vanilla chips
- 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- 1 cup peppermint baking chips such as Andes
- 1/2 cup crushed candy cane pieces
Instructions
- Line an 8x8" or 9x9" square baking pan with foil, extending the sides of the foil over the edges of the pan. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the chocolate chips and condensed milk together over medium-low heat, stirring and folding it constantly until melted and smooth. Mixture will be quite thick. Whisk in the vanilla extract and pour the fudge in the bottom of the prepared pan, smoothing it into an even layer. Set aside.
- In another large saucepan, melt the white chocolate chips and condensed milk together over medium-low heat, stirring and folding it constantly until melted and smooth. Mixture will also be thick. Whisk in the peppermint extract and pour the vanilla layer over the chocolate layer slowly. Using a butter knife, swirl the fudge layers together. Immediately top with the peppermint baking chips and crushed candy canes.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until set before cutting into squares.
