Ingredients
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1 16-ounce tub vanilla frosting*
- 1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
- 1/4 teaspoons salt
- Green gel food coloring
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper, spray the paper, and set pan aside.
-
Place the white chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl and heat in 15-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until melted and smooth.
-
Remove the lid and foil top from the tub of frosting and heat until pourable, about 30 seconds.
-
Pour the frosting over the melted chips, then add the peppermint extract, salt, and food coloring. Stir to combine.
-
Quickly add the mini chocolate and stir just 2 or 3 times—you want the chips to melt and create swirls in the fudge; if you stir too much your fudge will be brown rather than swirled.
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
-
Refrigerate for 2 hours, or until set. Slice and serve.

Recipe Notes
- Uneaten peppermint chocolate fudge can be stored in an airtight container, layered with wax paper, in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- It can also be stored in the freezer (again in an airtight container, layered with wax paper) for about two months.
- *I used Pillsbury Creamy Supreme vanilla frosting
- If your mini chocolate chips don’t melt when you stir them in, pop the mixture into the microwave for 3 or 4 seconds, then stir again.
