Peppermint Fudge (not Chocolate!) image

Generally my response to non-chocolate candy is "what's the point?" This, however, has become my favorite Christmas candy! My daughter found it in one of those Pillsbury/Betty Crocker booklets they tempt you with at the checkout stands. Prep time does not include cooling time.

This fudge is a great make-ahead dessert. I made it a few days ahead of time and it was still just as delicious.

I'm not a big fan of peppermint, but this fudge was surprisingly good. The flavor is very subtle and not overpowering at all.

This fudge is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I think I'll try making it with half the amount of sugar next time.
