Peppermint Bark Fudge

Ingredients

• 1  14 oz can sweetened condensed milk (396g)
• 1  cup dark chocolate chips (175g)
• 1  cup premium white chocolate chips (175g)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract optional
• 1/3 cup crushed candy canes divided. About 5 regular-sized candy canes, crushed (75g)

​Directions

• Line an 8x8 square pan with aluminum foil and lightly butter the sides and bottom of the foil.  Set aside.
• Divide condensed milk equally into two separate small/medium saucepans (just over 1/2 cup in each pan).  
• Add dark chocolate chips to one pan and white chocolate chips to the other.
• Melt chocolate chips over medium heat, stirring constantly until completely melted.  
• Once chocolate has melted, remove dark chocolate mixture from heat and stir in vanilla extract.  Immediately spread evenly into prepared pan.
• Once white chocolate has melted, remove from heat and stir in mint extract, if using.  Stir in 1/4 cup (50g) crushed peppermint pieces and immediately spread evenly over chocolate layer.
• Immediately sprinkle with remaining crushed peppermint pieces.
• Allow fudge to harden completely before slicing and serving (about 4-6 hours at room temperature, or about 1-2 hours in refrigerator).  ​
