Candy Cane Fudge image

Every year, my best friend and I get together to do our holiday baking together. We found a new recipe last year, which we decided to try. It turned out fantastic. Both of our families really liked this fudge. So I thought I would post the recipe here, for others to enjoy. It's quick to fix (only about 15-20 minutes) and it's very easy as candy-making goes. The cooking time listed below is the minimum chilling time needed for the fudge to "set" well enough to cut into individual serving pieces.

Categories     Candy

Time 2h25m

Yield 2 1/4 pounds, 64 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 (10 ounce) packages vanilla baking chips (or white baking morsels)
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
3/4-1 teaspoon peppermint extract (depending on preferences)
1 1/2 cups finely-crushed candy canes
red food coloring

Steps:

  • Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil. Lightly coat the bottom of the foil with butter.
  • In a medium size saucepan, combine the vanilla chips and the sweetened condensed milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the vanilla chips are melted.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and continue to stir (to remove any lumps that might be left from partially unmelted chips).
  • When chips are completely melted, stir in the peppermint extract and crushed candy canes.
  • Spread the fudge mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  • Dot the top of the fudge with several drops of food coloring. (NOTE: I used about 9 drops of food coloring. But feel free to reduce or increase that, depending on the amount of swirling you wish in your fudge). With a butter knife, cut through the fudge and food coloring, making a swirling pattern throughout the fudge.
  • Chill for 2 hours. Remove the fudge from the baking pan by lifting the foil from both ends. Transfer fudge to cutting board, and cut into 1-inch squares.

This recipe looks delicious, but I'm not sure if I have the time to make it. Is there a way to make it ahead of time?

I'm not sure if I have a candy thermometer. Is there another way to tell when the fudge is done cooking?

Can I use dark chocolate instead of white chocolate?

I'm allergic to nuts, so I'm wondering if I can substitute another ingredient for the chopped walnuts.
