Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups of premium white chocolate chips divided equally
  • 2 cans of high-quality sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 teaspoons of peppermint extract divided
  • 1 to 3 drops of green gel food coloring additional drops may be required for desired color
  • 1 to 4 drops of red gel food coloring additional drops may be necessary for preferred hue
  • 1/4 cup of cinnamon red hot candies

Instructions

  • Preparation of Baking Dish: Begin by lining an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Proceed to lightly coat the paper with non-stick cooking spray. This step is essential to ensure easy removal of the fudge once set.
  • Melting Chocolate: Utilize two separate small pots. In each, combine 2 cups of white chocolate chips with one can of sweetened condensed milk. Place the pots over a stove set to low-medium heat.
  • Consistent Stirring: It is crucial to stir the mixture continuously, aiming for a smooth and homogeneous mixture devoid of lumps.
  • Adding Flavor: Introduce 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract into each pot, ensuring it is thoroughly mixed to infuse the fudge with the desired flavor profile.
  • Coloring the Fudge: In one pot, incorporate 1 to 3 drops of green gel food coloring. Adjust the amount to achieve the desired intensity of green. In the second pot, add 1 to 4 drops of red gel food coloring, again adjusting for the preferred shade of red.
  • Layering the Fudge: Carefully pour the green-colored fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon red hot candies over the surface.
  • Adding the Second Layer: Gently spoon the red fudge mixture atop the green layer. Aim for even distribution.
  • Creating Swirls: Utilize a knife to swirl the red fudge into the green layer, creating a marbled effect. This step requires a delicate touch to ensure an aesthetically pleasing pattern.
  • Setting the Fudge: Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature. It is imperative to let it set and harden undisturbed, ideally overnight, to ensure proper consistency.
  • Cutting the Fudge: Once the fudge has set, cut it into 1-inch squares. This size is recommended for ease of serving and consumption.
