Any day is a great day to make fudge in my book. I happened to make this little bit of heaven for Valentine’s Day but you can certainly make it for any occasion. Did you have a good week at work? Make this fudge. Did you have a bad week at work? Make this fudge. I think you get the picture.
It literally only took me about 15 minutes to put this together, and it was simply delicious. It is very rich, so a little goes a long way.
Ingredients
- 1 (12 ounce) package of white chocolate chips or high-quality white chocolate bar
- 1 (16 ounce) container vanilla frosting
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 8 drops red food coloring
- 2 Tablespoons crushed peppermint candies
Directions
- Line an 8X8 pan with waxed paper.
- Melt white chocolate chips in a double boiler or melt in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval.
- Stir in the frosting into the white chocolate chips.
- Stir in peppermint extract.
- Spread into prepared pan evenly.
- Drop 8 drops of food coloring evenly spaced on top of the fudge.
- Using a knife swirl the food coloring.
- Sprinkle top of fudge with crushed peppermint candies and press down slightly.
- Cool for about an hour in the fridge.
- Once firm, turn fudge onto a cutting board and cut into small squares.
And that’s life in a nutshell … fudge makes everything okay in the end. Enjoy!
