Create this Candy Cane Fudge in the microwave. Bring it to a party or gift it to a friend or neighbor. It is a treat we have each year at our White Elephant Party.

I love peppermint. I can’t make any holiday treat without mint entering my mind. Nothing says mint and Christmas like candy canes. Last week I brought you Candy Cane Mud Pie and this week I have Microwave Peppermint Fudge. Enjoy this rich and creamy sweet treat.

Candy Cane Fudge Recipe

There are only a few simple ingredients needed for this holiday fudge.

• sweetened condensed milk
• white chocolate chips
• butter
• peppermint extract
• candy canes
• optional: red food coloring

This microwave candy is very easy to make with those minimum ingredients. It just takes a minute or two of microwave time and a short time in the refrigerator and it is ready. You will also enjoy Orange Microwave Fudge.

The recipe calls for food coloring, but I did not add any to my fudge. I liked the pink color of the candy cane. I might add a drop or two the next time I make this.

This holiday fudge recipe can easily be doubled, but I only recommend that for a large group. I served it as part of our holiday party along with Christmas Candy Bark and there were still a few pieces left at the end on my 3-tier Serving Stand. This fudge will keep for quite a while when refrigerated.

Place several pieces in an Ugly Christmas Sweater Jar and gift it to a friend or neighbor.
