Peppermint Fudge.

The other night we decided to make peppermint fudge. I had found a recipe on Martha Stewarts website and wanted to try it out. I always make cookies but I have made fudge before so it was a new adventure for us. It was really easy and fun to make.
Here is what you need:

Nonstick spray, for baking pan

• 2 1/4 cups (16 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup round peppermint candies, plus 18 for garnish
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 3 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon coarse salt

First  get a 9 inch square baking pan and spray with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper. Next you put Marshmallows , Heavy Cream, Crushed up peppermint candies, butter and salt in a medium sauce pan. Before you put it on the heat get a bowl and add chocolate chips.

Whisk until smooth.

Then Pour mixture through a strainer into bowl with chocolate; let stand 1 minute, then stir until smooth.


Pour into 9 inch baking pan and chill for 3 hours. Cut into squares and serve. You can ad half a peppermint candy to the top, it you want.
