Or make a meal of it :) this was a recipient from a neighbor Merilee Jensen. Thanks! And enjoy this fudge as an intro to Christmas.. It is just around the corner!!!
Peppermint Candy Fudge
¾ cup butter
3 cups sugar
1 can (5 oz.) evaporated milk
1 pkg (12 oz.) white chocolate chips
1 jar (7 oz.) Jet Puffed marshmallow crème
½ to 1 cup crushed peppermint candies (small candy canes work well)
2-3 tsp peppermint extract
2-3 drops red food coloring (color the fudge a light pink)
Lightly grease 9 by 13 inch or 9-inch square pan. Mix butter, sugar, and milk in heavy 2 ½ to 3 quart saucepan, bring to full rolling boil on medium heat stirring constantly. Continue boiling 4-5 minutes on medium heat, until candy thermometer reaches 234 degrees F, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
Remove from heat. Gradually stir in chips until melted. Add remaining ingredients, mix well. Pour into prepared pan. Cool at room temperature. Cut into squares.
