Christmas Goodies: Peppermint Fudge

For the best Peppermint Fudge I've ever made I use the Eagle Brand recipe which you can find here.  But to make things simple, I'll type out the recipe too...


Ingredients:

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups milk chocolate chips
• 1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
• dash of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract
• 1/4 cup peppermint candy (I use Andes Peppermint Crunch bits which you can find at Wal-Mart)

Directions:

1. Line an 8 or 9 inch square pan with wax paper. 
2. Melt chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk and salt in heavy saucepan over low heat. While melting chocolate do not stop stirring, you might burn the chocolate and thus ruin the fudge. 
3. Remove from heat; stir in peppermint extract. Spread evenly into prepared pan. Sprinkle with peppermint candy. (Make sure to lightly press the peppermint bits into the fudge because otherwise once the fudge is hard the peppermint bits will fall right off!)
4. Chill in fridge for 2 hours or until hardened. Remove from pan by lifting the edges of the wax paper, and remove the wax paper.  Cut into small squares.

 Enjoy!
