Chocolate Peppermint Fudge Recipe

What’s the Project? This chocolate peppermint fudge recipe is a wonderful Christmas treat. The bottom layer is chocolate fudge and the top layer is mint, with mini chocolate chips sprinkled on top. This will be a huge hit with family and friends.

I remember when my first little baby was just 6 months old and I put him in a bouncer chair on the floor by me in the kitchen and we “baked” and “danced” to Christmas music.

He was obviously too little to really participate, but for me, it was a dream come true. Christmas baking and dancing with my own kiddo!

I still love that tradition and now my boys are actually able to participate. We have a lot of fun making holiday treats.

So, I have lots of Christmas treats to share. Today I am sharing a Chocolate Peppermint Fudge recipe:

The bottom layer is chocolate, the top layer is peppermint and it’s sprinkled with mini chips. It’s amazing!

I took this to all of my neighbors last year and it was a hit!

Let’s get cooking!

By the way, if you’re a fudge lover, I’ve also go Peanut Butter Fudge and a coconut fudge and you’re going to love all of them!

Chocolate Peppermint Fudge Recipe:

This will fit in an 8 x 8 inch pan. I like to double both layers and do it in a 9 x 13 inch pan. It will fill that pan entirely too the top-it’s a lot of fudge! So you make the choice of what works for you, but this is for the 8 x8 inch pan.

Ingredients

For the chocolate bottom layer:

2 C Sugar
11 large marshmallows
3/4 C of evaporated milk
1 pkg. milk chocolate chips just a regular size
1 stick butter

For the peppermint layer:

2 C Sugar
11 large marshmallows
3/4 C of evaporated milk
1 pkg. white chocolate chips just a regular size I really recommend Guittard brand-they melt the best
1 tsp peppermint extract
green food coloring
1 stick butter
Mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Starting with the chocolate layer-Combine the sugar, marshmallows, and milk in a large pan. Heat it and bring it to a soft boil. Boil (soft boil) for 6 minutes. *Be careful here. It likes to spit while it boils and I have a nasty burn on my arm to prove it. Wear long sleeves, use your biggest pan, just be careful!
Cook the same way that you did for your bottom layer. Add you peppermint extract and food coloring when you are adding the chips and butter. Use as much or as little green food coloring as you want to make it pretty.
Pour on top of your bottom layer and let it sit for 10-15 minutes till it is slightly cooled but not set, then sprinkle with mini chips and put in the fridge.
It can also be frozen.
Turn off the heat. Add chocolate chips and butter and stir until completely combined.
Pour into well greased 8 x 8 inch pan.
Place in refrigerator for several hours until completely set. Then proceed to mint layer.
