Didn’t break a sweat. Didn’t mess up my entire kitchen. Maybe impressed some adults. Teenagers were impressed and ate the whole thing. Adults maybe would’ve been impressed had they had the opportunity to sample just one morsel of this minty, fudgy, yumminess.
Peppermint oil has a number of therapeutic properties. It’s known to enhance moods, boost energy, sharpens focus, and alleviates bad breath. It might be safe to say that this fudge is good for you.
Dark Chocolate Peppermint Fudge
Makes 25 squares
2 cups dark chocolate chocolate chips
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
4 large candy canes, crushed (I crushed like 8 smaller ones)
Line a 8 or 9 inch square baking dish with parchment paper leaving about 2 inches around the sides of pan hanging out.
Sprinkle generously over the fudge the crushed candy canes. Pop a few pieces in your mouth for fresh holiday breath.

That fudge looks delicious. I make fudge of some sort or another (or 10 or so different ones if I’m being honest lol) and this looks like it would be a good addition to the list. Yum! And Buzzed!
Divine!! I’m with you on the not enough hours in the day!
Who doesn’t love fudge! Festive peppermint chunks look so pretty on them.
I literally laughed out loud – Miss, ‘I’m going to make another batch just for me!’ you go honey!! Merry Christmas Lora – (((hugs)))
Mmmm…. I am totally loving all things peppermint right now! And this might be tops on the list – looks fabulous =)
Sweet! Adding this to my list. While calmly breathing.
Wow, that looks so dark and rich and mmmm! I don’t like mint very much, but I could top this with anything else. Looks wonderful!
Love it. Looks absolutely fabulous!
Yum! What a wonderful sweet gift to make at the last minute! Thanks for the idea!
Oh yum, I’ve never made such a quick and easy fudge! Must get on it! This looks awesome and I bet the candy canes added a nice crunch and texture to it!
Ooh! The last fudge recipe I saw called for a lot of butter, so this one is exciting. Maybe the chocolate makes up for it, though…

peppermint added to fudge has to be the absolute best addition
Your fudge looks so good. I added crushed candy canes to my fudge, but you have to eat the fudge right away, other wise the candy cane pieces soften, and the colors start to run. Not pretty!
Lora, what a beautiful fudge! The crushed peppermint candy not only makes it beautiful and festive, but I think I could eat a whole piece because the peppermint cuts into the sweetness. I’ve never been one to take more than a bite or two of fudge, so this is promising
Wat a marvellous looking fudge..incredible..
Very Delicious looking, Lora! I love how it turned out..and I love all your photos!!!!
Happy Holidays Lora. Cannot top that comment you left me so I am leaving my whimsy for another time. But really pretty chocolate peppermint fudge girlie!!
I love fudge! This looks delicious
No need to freak out. We can only do our best and enjoy this season
Looks very festive to me. I am sure the adults were impressed, they were just not showing it.
If you are going to freak out over Christmas being just around the corner then I think the best way to do it is yes, with a batch of this festive fudge all to yourself
I love your photographs very much. … That close up shots are making me to grab food from the screen
SIMPLEMENTE MARAVILLOSO GRAN RECETA,ABRAZOS HUGS,HUGS.

Ah this fudge looks amazing. Wish I had some right now!
Beautiful, festive fudge!!! My kids would love this, Lora~
As I read this Chrismas is a blink away (reminded me how late I am on blog love – and how swamped I became with the holidays – and how much left I have to do). I hope you still have some of that stress relieving peppermint!
This fudge does look impress the adults and kiddos worthy. I hope you and your family are having a great holiday season!
