Few holiday treats capture the spirit of Christmas quite like a beautifully layered peppermint bark fudge. This recipe blends the richness of classic chocolate fudge with the cool, festive sparkle of peppermint, resulting in a confection that feels both nostalgic and indulgent. Each square offers a contrast of textures—creamy layers of chocolate and white fudge topped with the satisfying crunch of crushed candy canes.
This fudge is wonderfully simple to make, yet it delivers a polished, gift-ready appearance. The red and white peppermint pieces scattered across the top create a striking, seasonal finish that looks as if it came straight from a holiday sweets shop. It’s a treat that draws attention on dessert trays, cookie platters, and holiday gift boxes.
What makes this recipe especially appealing is its reliability. Using sweetened condensed milk ensures that each layer melts smoothly and sets perfectly, giving you clean slices and beautifully defined layers. You won’t need a candy thermometer or advanced baking skills—just gentle heat and a few minutes of stirring.
