Peppermint Fudge
Today is the first day of my month long giveaway extravaganza!! I’m pretty excited for all of you!
I have some amazing prizes ranging in value from $50-$250 EACH!
As many of you know (at least those who visit Shugary Sweets often), I love fudge and truffles! I make some variety of fudge quite frequently here on the blog! So much so that “candy” has it’s own category up top there!
One of my favorite products I use is Candiquik!
I love how quickly it sets up and stays hard! No melting all over your fingers!
Today, Candiquik is providing a fun package of goodies for one lucky winner, filled with an assortment of coatings (vanilla and chocolate), sprinkles and some fun fondue goodies, all valued over $50! JUST in time for Christmas baking!
And, if you have no idea what to make? Visit Miss Candiquik…she has some fabulous treats on her blog!! Be sure to enter the Rafflecopter below and follow the questions for lots of chances to win! This giveaway will close at midnight on Wednesday, November 28…and a new giveaway will begin! So be sure to enter and come back!!
Now, on to this fudge!
I used Andes Peppermint Baking Chips to give the bottom layer a creamy texture with peppermint flavor. Then, I went one more step and topped the fudge with some Mini Peppermint Marshmallows and White Candiquik…and some broken candy cane pieces!
Easy. Delicious. And would be a perfect gift for family, friends, neighbors, teachers…you get the drift! ENJOY.
GIVEAWAY IS OVER!!!
Peppermint Fudge
Ingredients:
- 1 bag (12oz) white chocolate morsels
- 1 bag (10oz) Andes Peppermint Crunch baking chips
- 7oz jar marshmallow creme
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 cup granulated sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1 pkg (16oz) vanilla Candiquik, melted
- 3 cup Mini Peppermint Marshmallows
- 5 peppermint candy canes, broken
Directions:
- In a mixing bowl, add white chocolate morsels, Andes baking chips and marshmallow creme. Set aside.
- Prepare a 13x9 baking dish by lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In medium saucepan, heat butter, heavy cream, sugar and salt over medium high heat. Bring to a boil and continue stirring. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
- Pour over morsels and marshmallow creme, beating with a whisk until smooth and melted. (I highly suggest using an electric stand or handheld mixer- this fudge is thick)! Pour fudge into prepared baking dish.
- Melt vanilla candiquik according to package directions. Allow to cool slightly (a couple minutes). Fold in mini marshmallows and pour over top of fudge. Immediately sprinkle with broken candy canes. Allow fudge to set, about 2-3 hours. Cute into bites and enjoy!

I made this this afternoon and I too had the “problem” of the excess red liquid. I boiled the stuff for exactly 5 minutes as directed and used an electric mixer. It made a huge mess. I scooped the base layer out of the bowl so I avoided the majority of the liquid getting into the pan. I still had some but it did set up well and tastes great.
Am wondering if you have to keep this refrigerated due to the heavy whipping cream? Thanks (:
I usually keep my fudge in the refrigerator to keep it chilled.
Made this last night for gift giving. It came out perfect. So rich and yummy… Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe. Merry Christmas!
Would love to make this fudge – need to think of some substitutions as a couple of the ingredients are not available in South Africa, i.e.
1 bag (12oz) white chocolate morsels
1 bag (10oz) Andes Peppermint Crunch baking chips
7oz jar marshmallow creme
1 pkg (16oz) vanilla Candiquik, melted
3 cup Mini Peppermint Marshmallows
Hmmm, that’s a lot of substitutions. Since I’m not familiar with the products you do have available, unfortunately I can’t help. Maybe try googling what you can substitute? Good luck!
So sad… we live in Australia and cant get most of these ingredients. Boo hoo. 🙁 It looks beautiful.
Boo hoo is right!!
I made this fudge tonight, and it is wonderful. Easy and delicious! I’m giving part of it to my daughter tomorrow for Valentine’s Day. I placed it in a white box with red tissue paper, and it’s so pretty. Thanks for sharing your recipe Aimee. It’s a keeper!
Hi Denise,
So glad you enjoyed the fudge!! I”m sure your daughter will love it 🙂

Hi, Just found this site and recipe. Would this fudge work to pour into the silicone brownie bites mold? I have a cookie exchange that I’ll need to make 144 treats for and would like to make my life simple.
Also, what makes the fudge pink? is there food coloring involved?
Honestly I think you’re better off making this in a pan and cutting it up. If you line your pan with foil or parchment it pops right out! The melted Andes Peppermint Crunch chips give it the pink color 🙂

This looks delicious! I love peppermint!
I’ve tried this fudge twice, and both times the white morsels “seized” because the mixture is too hot. How do you get your morsels not to seize?

So pretty with that marshmallow topping! Yum and thank you!
So forgot candi quick, so instead I scattered and pressed mini peppermint marshmallows and the crushed peppermint candies into the top of the freshly poured fudge. Pretty to look at and delicious! Not too sweet and peppermint taste was not over the top. Amazing recipe. Definitely a keeper.
That sounds amazing 🙂
