I make many batches of this minty fudge to give as Christmas gifts. It's not too sweet, so it appeals to lots of palates. —Sue Schindler, Barnesville, Minnesota

Homemade Peppermint Ice CreamWhen peppermint stick ice cream isn't available, I crush 15-20 hard peppermint candies or small candy canes and fold into a half gallon of softened vanilla ice cream. —Barb Gribble, Arena, Wisconsin

If I can make this, a 5 year old can. I am normally terrified of the kitchen, I am shocked at how yummy this is and more shocked that I made it. It's a miracle

Will the fudge still turn out if I forgot to boil it for 5 minutes? I just heated it until the sugar was dissolved...missed the sentence where it said to boil it.. Whoops! I did the rest of it, just put it in the fridge....Hopefully its still edible?

This recipe was amazing. I would not change a thing, I was very impressed it reminded me of my grandma's fudge and it was exactly what I was looking for in a recipe to use for a food auction where all the proceeds go to the united way. GREAT JOB!!

If you like peppermint and white chocolate..this buttery smooth fudgey goodness is splendid! It has been my favorite holiday fudge, I make it every year. I use the soft peppermints that melt in your mouth, they add a vanilla sweetness and aren't as crunchy as regular peppermint. ALSO...please use the foil! Forgot to use the foil one time, and like to have never gotten it out of the pan!

This recipe was amazing. I made the fudge and put into tins for a part of the family gift baskets for Christmas presents! This was a hit! However, I would never store fudge in a refrigerator. When stored in the refrigerator the fudge may become too hard and when removed from the fridge the fudge may "melt". It is best to make the fudge to harden at room temperature.

Made this recipe twice. First time, it set up to be hard as a rock after putting it in the refrigerator to firm. Second time, I let it firm outside the refrigerator and it seemed to be ok. Then, I stored in the refrigerator like the recipe says and it was as hard as a rock AGAIN. I will not be doing this recipe again. Although, I may take my regular fudge recipe and use white chocolate chips and add peppermint. We will probably be able to at least eat it.

Overall it was good but didn't care for the white blocks of fudge used. I would have rather boiled the karo & sugar to make the fudge. Liked the taste, however.

any fudge can turn out bad if under cook or over cook,,but i gotta say wow !!!!i made 5 diff fudge flavors one was peanut butter fudge then 3 of them were various flavors with the nestle recipe,,and this one and i gotta say this one has best texture and flavor ,,i used a whole cap full of peppermint extract ,,then crushed hard peppermints and mixed them in .Then bobs puffy peppermints i crushed those and pressed thos on top for decoration and its my new fav recipe,,i gotta say i am so tempted to just omit the candy and extract and just use this recipe for my chocolate version and put in vanilla extract instead ,,

I just ate some that a co-worker brought in for a Christmas luncheon today. (In fact, I keep going back for more!) I had to come get the recipe myself. One reviewer is right... It's not truly a fudge. The texture and flavor is more like one of those soft buttermint candies, so I suppose calling it "fudge" is misleading. Contrary to another reviewer's comment about the sour cream, I don't think the sour cream detracts from the taste at all. I actually can't taste it. This is an absolutely delicious candy. I am definately stopping for peppermint extract on the way home tonight!!

This did not turn out at all - in fact I tossed it all. It had a grainy texture and was such a hard brick I could hardly cut it! Out it went.

This is my favorite candy recipe ever! Easy enough to make, gets rave reviews and tastes wonderful. I have substituted crushed lemon drops and used lemon flavoring with excellent results.

I LOVE WHITE FUDGE BUT AM NOT A FAN OF PEPPERMINT. COULD I LEAVE OUT THE PEPPER MINT FLAVORING AND CRUSHED CANDY, AND SUBSTITUTE NUTS AND VANILLA? IT DOES LOOK VERY FESTIVE!!!
