Candy Cane Fudge

"My Sister makes this peppermint fudge every Christmas.  It is so yummy and sooo addictive!  I love it and I'm sure you will too!"

 

1 (12 ounce) package of white chocolate chips

1 can vanilla frosting

1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

4 drops red food coloring

2 Tablespoons of crushed peppermint candy canes (I used 2 regular sized candy canes.)*

 

Place white chocolate chips in a saucepan over medium-low heat.  Stir until completely melted.  Add frosting and stir to combine.  Remove pan from the heat and add extract.  Pour into an 8x8 pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.  Squeeze one drop of food coloring into each corner of the pan.  With a butter knife, swirl food coloring into white chocolate mixture.  Sprinkle crushed candy canes over fudge.  Cover with plastic wrap and chill until fudge has hardened.  Cut into 1 inch squares.  

 

*TIP:  You can crush candy canes by placing them in a large plastic storage bag and using a hammer, mallet or even a rolling pin crush them into the desired size.
