Description
A delicious layered peppermint bark fudge combining dark and white chocolate with crunchy peppermint, perfect for holiday gifting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped
- 12 oz white chocolate or white chocolate chips
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk (divided use)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (optional for sheen)
- 3/4 tsp pure peppermint extract (divided)
- 3/4 cup crushed candy canes or peppermint candies
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Line your 9×9 pan with parchment up the sides for easy removal.
- In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, combine half the dark chocolate and 2/3 of the sweetened condensed milk; stir until smooth.
- Add 1/4 tsp of peppermint extract and a pinch of salt; remove from heat and stir in butter if using.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top, and let sit at room temperature until barely warm (15-25 minutes).
- In another bowl, warm the remaining sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate until smooth.
- Stir in 1/2 tsp peppermint extract, pour over the dark layer, and spread gently.
- Sprinkle crushed candy canes over the top, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Cover loosely and refrigerate for 2-4 hours or overnight. To cut, warm a knife under hot water, then slice in one confident motion.
Notes
For best results, pour the second layer while the first is still slightly tacky to ensure good adhesion.
