Holiday candy canes are a favorite Christmas candy. Though you can buy holiday candy canes on nearly every corner during the Christmas holiday season, home made candy is so much better!

But, I found that making candy canes can be rather tricky, so I found a perfect compromise -- home made holiday candy cane fudge! It's quick and easy to make and tastes delicious!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 14 candy canes, crushed
  • 20 ounces vanilla baking chips
  • 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 6 drops red food coloring
  • nonstick foil
  • 8" square baking pan
  1. Step 1

    Line an 8" square baking dish with nonstick foil.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the sweetened condensed milk and the vanilla baking chips over medium heat, stirring frequently until the vanilla baking chips are almost melted.

  3. Step 3

    Remove the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla baking chips mixture from the heat and continue stirring until the chips are completely melted.

  4. Step 4

    Once the vanilla chips are melted, stir in the peppermint extract and the crushed candy canes until well blended.

  5. Step 5

    Pour the holiday candy cane mixture into the foil lined pan.

  6. Step 6

    Drop one drop of food coloring six different places on top of the fudge. You'll want them to be fairly evenly spread out, but it doesn't have to be perfectly precise.

  7. Step 7

    Using a knife, swirl the red food coloring throughout the fudge. You don't want to over do it because rather than mixing in the food coloring, you want to end up with a swirled effect.

  8. Step 8

    Place in refrigerator and chill for at least two hours. Cut into 1" squares and serve.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you end up mixing in the food coloring and "mess up" the swirled effect, don't worry about it! It's totally fine to make this a more solid color if it turns out that way. No big deal!
  • Don't make this when you're hungry or you'll likely eat most of it before you have a chance to serve to friends and family. Holiday Candy Cane Fudge is addictive!
