Ingredients
  

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup white chocolate chips

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon peppermint extract

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies (plus extra for garnish)

Pinch of salt

1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)

Instructions
 

Prepare Baking Dish: Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease with the unsalted butter.

    Melt Semi-Sweet Chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, half of the sweetened condensed milk (1/2 cup), a pinch of salt, and the peppermint extract. Stir continuously until melted and smooth. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes until set.

      Prepare White Chocolate Layer: While the semi-sweet layer is chilling, clean the saucepan and return it to low heat. Add the white chocolate chips, the remaining sweetened condensed milk (1/2 cup), and the vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the white chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

        Add Peppermint Candies: Remove the white chocolate mixture from heat and stir in the crushed peppermint candies.

          Combine Layers: Carefully pour the white chocolate peppermint mixture over the set semi-sweet chocolate layer. Use a spatula to spread it evenly and create swirls if desired.

            Garnish and Chill: Sprinkle additional crushed peppermint candies on top for extra texture and flavor. Refrigerate the fudge for about 1-2 hours until firm.

              Cut and Serve: Once set, use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge out of the baking dish. Cut into squares and serve.
