How to Make Candy Cane Fudge

  1. Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. Lightly grease the foil-lined pan with butter.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 12 ounces of white chocolate chips and 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the white chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup of crushed candy canes.
  7. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Add a few drops of red and green food coloring to the top of the fudge.
  9. Using a butter knife or toothpick, swirl the food coloring into the fudge, creating a marbled effect.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
  11. Lift the fudge from the pan using the foil overhang.
  12. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 1-inch squares.
