Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups White chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
- 5 drops Red food coloring
- 0.25 cup Crushed candy canes
- 24 pieces Mini cupcake liners
Instructions
Line a mini muffin tin with 24 mini cupcake liners.
In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Place over low heat and stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peppermint extract. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavor.
Divide the melted fudge mixture into two separate bowls. Add red food coloring to one bowl and mix thoroughly to achieve a uniform red color, leaving the other bowl white.
Using a spoon or piping bag, layer a small amount of the white mixture into each cupcake liner. Gently tap the tray on the counter to smooth out the layer.
Next, add a layer of the red mixture on top of the white layer. Repeat as desired to create a striped effect, finishing with a red layer on top.
Sprinkle crushed candy canes over the top of each fudge cup for a festive crunch.
Place the tray in the refrigerator and allow the fudge cups to set for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once set, remove the peppermint fudge cups from the liners and serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
