If you are looking for a festive Christmas sweet treat look no further! This White Chocolate and Peppermint Fudge is so easy with just a few ingredients.
I love variations on the classic 3 ingredient fudge. The basic ingredients are chocolate, condensed milk and butter. Today I have made a very Christmassy version with peppermint essence and candy cane topping.
There are two sorts of fudge people tend to make, the classic with milk and sugar, and this one using condensed milk. I prefer this one as it is so easy and involves no concerns around temperatures and consistency.
The resulting fudge is a soft melt in the mouth texture that is simply lovely.
The ingredients you will need are as follows, the full recipe and method is further below.

White Chocolate

Condensed Milk

Butter

Peppermint Essence

Candy Canes
Choosing the right ingredients is important, the fudge will have a better outcome with a good quality white chocolate. And choosing a lovely concentrated peppermint essence will give you more of a punch in flavour than a milder one. Plus you will use less of it.
I make this fudge in the microwave, but you can easily make it on a double boiler if you prefer. It does not take long, simply as long as it takes for the chocolate to have completely melted.
