Easy Peppermint Fudge

It's the holiday season, so it's time for some yummy festive recipes! This one is a new twist on an old fudge recipe from last year. The recipe is easy, gluten-free, has few ingredients, and will make your taste testers impressed! I made this for coworkers as a treat before break!
Makes about 30 pieces

Ingredients
1 1/4 cup chocolate chips (I used Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips)
1 can 14oz sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp butter (a little extra to line pans)
1 large candy cane, crushed in a ziplock bag

In a pot, boil about an inch thick of water on low heat
Place a glass bowl on top. This will allow the steam to melt the fudge
Add butter, milk and chocolate
Stir and fold for about 10 minutes
Make sure the heat is on low or the fudge will burn
It will take a little while, but keep folding until all chocolate is melted

Meanwhile, line two 8x8 square pans with butter and place parchment paper in it
Pour fudge evenly and top with the crushed candy canes
Place in the fridge for 2 hours

Pull out the paper and cut pieces into whatever shape, size, or design you'd like!








Keep refrigerated until you decide to eat it. Enjoy!
