How To Make Peppermint White Chocolate Fudge

This easy fudge recipe is made in the microwave oven and only requires a few minutes to prep and a little time to set.

1. Prepare a pan. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
2. Combine ingredients. Place white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, butter, salt, and pepper mint extract in a large microwave-safe bowl.
3. Melt. Microwave for 40 seconds and stir. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir. If it is still not melted, microwave for 15 seconds.
4. Transfer to prepared pan. Quickly transfer to prepared baking dish, leveling and smoothing it out with a rubber spatula.

Recipe Tips

• Use high-quality white chocolate chips. Cheap white chocolate chips can seize or melt unevenly resulting in a fudge that is grainy in texture.
• Melt slowly and gently. Microwave at short intervals, stirring well after each one so you don’t burn the chocolate.
• Refrigerate for at least an hour before cutting into squares and serving.

How To Store Fudge

Let cool completely before refrigerating.

1. Store at room temperature. Fudge can be kept at room temperature for 1 week. Place it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
2. Refrigerate. If you want to store the fudge longer than a week or your kitchen is warm, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
3. Freeze. Can be frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap each piece or slab in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
