Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk, divided

  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract

  • Red and green food coloring

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies or holiday sprinkles


Instructions

  • Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper and lightly butter the sides.

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup condensed milk, and 1 tablespoon butter. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

  • Spread chocolate fudge layer evenly in the prepared pan. Refrigerate while preparing the next layer.

  • In a separate bowl, melt white chocolate chips with remaining condensed milk and butter until smooth.

  • Stir in peppermint extract, then divide the mixture into three bowls. Tint one red, one green, and leave one white.

  • Drop spoonfuls of each color over the chocolate layer. Swirl gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.

  • Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies or sprinkles on top.

 

  • Chill for at least 2 hours or until firm. Cut into squares and serve.


Notes

For easier cutting, run a sharp knife under hot water between slices.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or refrigerate for up to two weeks.
