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

White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge Recipe
  • Prep: 10 min. Cook: 10 min. + chilling
  • Yield: 81 Servings
10 10 20

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 teaspoons plus 1/4 cup butter, softened, divided
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 12 squares (1 ounce each) white baking chocolate, chopped
  • 1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow cream
  • 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

Directions

  • Line a 9-in. square pan with foil. Grease the foil with 1-1/2 teaspoons butter; set aside.
  • In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, sour cream and remaining butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a rapid boil; cook and stir until a candy thermometer reads 234° (soft-ball stage), about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat; stir in white chocolate and marshmallow creme until melted. Fold in peppermint candy and extract. Pour into prepared pan. Chill until firm.
  • Using foil, lift fudge out of pan. Gently peel off foil; cut fudge into 1-in. squares. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 2 pounds.

Editor's Note: We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212°. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test.

Tip

Homemade Peppermint Ice Cream

When 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

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 was a little different when I first tasted it, but by the end of the first bite, I was in LOVE! Excellent recipe!!

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.

I made a double batch and it is so creamy and minty. My husband and I love it.

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.

Nothing to do with real fudge..and I don't care for the sour creamat all. It looks good, that's all.

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!!!
