1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk For a different sweetness level, substitute with evaporated milk.
1 cup White Chocolate Chips Almond bark can be used for a unique flavor twist.
1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Swapping in dark chocolate chips amplifies the chocolate experience.

1 teaspoon Peppermint Extract Peppermint oil is a viable substitute, use in smaller amounts.

1/2 cup Crushed Peppermint Candies Crushed candy canes can be a delightful alternative.
1 teaspoon Red Food Coloring Optional for adding vibrant color swirls.

In a medium saucepan over low heat, gently combine sweetened condensed milk and both kinds of chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in peppermint extract. Mix well to ensure the minty flavor is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
If you want a festive touch, divide a small amount of the fudge into a separate bowl. Add red food coloring to the portion and mix until you achieve your desired shade, then swirl it back into the main mixture for a beautiful marbled effect.
Pour the fudge mixture into a parchment-lined 8x8 inch pan. Spread it evenly and sprinkle the top with crushed peppermint candies for extra crunch and flair.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until it is firm to the touch.
Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into squares. Serve immediately or package them as sweet gifts for friends and family!

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
