This White Chocolate Fudge with Crushed Peppermint Topping is a delicious combination of rich white chocolate fudge infused with peppermint and topped with crushed peppermint candy.
Line a 9-inch square baking dish with foil and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
Place butter, sugar, and evaporated milk in a heavy bottom saucepan and turn stove to medium heat. Stir ingredients together.Once the sugar starts to dissolve, attach candy thermometer to saucepan. While continuously stirring the mixture, bring mixture to a boil until it reaches 234° (soft ball stage).
Remove the mixture from the heat, stir in white chocolate chips, peppermint extract, and marshmallow creme. Stir together until the chocolate has melted and everything is thoroughly combined.
Pour fudge into prepared pan. If using crushed candy canes, gently press peppermint pieces on top of fudge. (If using crushed soft peppermint candies, wait until fudge is cool before topping.)
Place fudge in refrigerator and chill for 2-4 hours or until set. Once fudge has set, remove from refrigerator and remove fudge from baking dish. Place on a cutting board and cut into pieces.
