Candy Cane Fudge Tips:

  • Creamy Chocolate – If you have problems with the white chocolate being creamy when melted, add a small amount of vegetable oil to the melted chocolate.
  • Line Baking Dish –Make sure to line baking dish with parchment paper for easy clean up and to remove fudge. It’s much easier with a prepared pan.
  • Melting Chocolate –Make sure to slowly melt chocolate as your do not want it to burn. Heat in 30 second intervals and stir.
  • Food Coloring –You can add in food coloring to the fudge. We recommend a red food coloring for a fun and festive twist.
  • Swirling Fudge –If you decided to add in other colors, mix sure to only swirl the chocolate together. You do not want the colors to blend.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does this fudge last?

Since we love all things peppermint, this fudge does not last long at our house. It goes pretty quickly.

There are lots of different recipes and techniques but microwave fudge is my favorite. It is such an easy way to make fudge and turns out amazing.

How to Store Fudge?

Store leftover fudge with candy canes in an airtight container for up to 7 days. We recommend placing a sheet of wax paper in between the layers to prevent the fudge from sticking.

How to Freeze Fudge?

Separate the Peppermint Bark fudge recipe with wax paper inside an airtight container. Place in the freezer up to 3 months. This is very convenient if you do a lot of holiday baking. You can make and freeze the fudge ahead of time.

When you are ready to serve, remove from freeze and let thaw on the counter for about 2 hours. Serve at room temperature if you prefer.
