Holiday Treat – Peppermint Fudge

For me, peppermint is for holidays. Especially the Christmas holiday. Fudge is a comfort food, and something that I do not indulge in often. But calories do not count at holidays, so enjoy a peppermint, white chocolate, creamy fudge treat this year.

  • 24 ounces of white chocolate chips
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
