Layered White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge makes the perfect gift for the holidays!

It’s been a holiday baking palooza at our house. Along with cookies, caramel corn, and bark—-fudge is one of my favorite treats I make around this time of  year to package up and send along to friends and neighbors.

WHITE CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT MOCHA FUDGE

This Layered White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha Fudge is a new favorite. It has two different layers and combines all the flavors you love about the beloved Starbucks drink.

As much as I like the ease of making fudge in the microwave, making it on the stove prevents the chance of overheating. The double-boiler method is practically fail proof and you still won’t need a candy thermometer.

The pretty contrast of white to dark chocolate with the hint of mocha and kiss of peppermint is truly the best!  It makes a decadent treat and perfect for gift giving!

Ingredients
Peppermint Chocolate Layer:
  • 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups (16 ounces) chopped bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate or chocolate chips
  • 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
White Chocolate Layer:
  • 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1-1/4 cup white chocolate chopped or high quality white chocolate chips (I used Ghirardelli)
  • 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup crushed peppermints or candy canes divided
Instructions
  1. Line an 8 x 8 square pan with parchment paper leaving an overhang (or foil) and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan with hot water on medium, heat bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate with condensed milk, butter, and espresso powder, stirring constantly until melted and smooth, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and peppermint extracts.
  3. Pour the mixture into prepared pan, smoothing the top with an offset spatula. Place the pan in the refrigerator to cool.
  4. Meanwhile, make the White Chocolate Layer - Rinse the bowl or get another heatproof bowl and set over the same saucepan over heated water. Pour 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk and add white chocolate and butter, stirring constantly until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Pour the white chocolate layer over the peppermint layer, spreading evenly with an offset spatula. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes. Place the pan back in the refrigerator and chill until firm about 3 hours.
  5. Once fudge is set, use overhang edges to lift the fudge out of the pan. Top with a few more crushed candy cane pieces if desired. Cut into squares. Store in refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.

  3. Okay, this is fudge perfection! Love the mocha thrown into the peppermint and chocolate mix. Obviously, it looks like our favorite peppermint bark but you get this soft, moist, chewy fudge. It really looks perfect! What a great gift! We are at the home stretch of gift-giving. I hope to be done by the end of the week. : ) Happy Holidays!!
