Next, take it off the heat and mix in the vanilla.
Now, pour the fudge into a prepared dish.
Sprinkle the top of the fudge with the crushed peppermint. Let it cool for several hours (or even overnight) until the fudge is set.

Peppermint Fudge
Easy No Bake Peppermint Fudge! A simple Christmas or Anytime Recipe for Winter, Hot Chocolate Bars, or Valentine's Day! This simple vanilla fudge recipe with a slight vanilla flavor is PERFECT for the Holidays!
Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 6-8 ounces white almond bark
- 15-20 miniature candy canes (smashed) or peppermint crunch sprinkles
Instructions
- In a saucepan, melt white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter over medium low heat till mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat and add vanilla - mix well.
- Immediately pour fudge mixture into a 8x8” square pan that has been lined with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle with a few candy cane pieces and let cool until hard (about 4 hours or overnight).
- Cut fudge into pieces and drizzle with white almond bark. Sprinkle with remaining candy cane pieces and let cool completely until drizzle sets.
When it comes to adding the almond bark drizzle, I like to melt my almond bark and then put it in a zippered bag to drizzle over the fudge.
You can always use a fork and skip this part, or you can leave your fudge uncut to drizzle the almond bark.
Can I use White Chocolate instead of Almond Bark for the drizzle?
Yes! Absolutely. If you don’t have almond bark on hand, just use extra white chocolate for the drizzle! I personally just like the way almond bark hardens for a finished product.
Do I have to use Candy Canes for this recipe?
No, you do not have to use candy canes for this recipe. You can use crushed peppermints, peppermint crunch sprinkles, or any kind of peppermint topping!
Here are a bunch of Peppermint Crunch Sprinkles to choose from!
Can I add peppermint flavor to the recipe?
Yes, absolutely! Just substitute 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla for peppermint extract. If you like a strong peppermint flavor, replace all of the vanilla with peppermint extract.
