1. How long does Peppermint Swirl Fudge last?

Peppermint Swirl Fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze it for up to three months. Just be sure to layer it between parchment paper before freezing to prevent sticking.

2. Can I use different types of chocolate for this fudge?

Yes! You can easily customize the chocolate layers to suit your tastes. For a more intense flavor, try using dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate. You can also substitute white chocolate chips with a dairy-free option for a vegan-friendly treat.

3. Why did my fudge turn out too soft or too hard?

If your fudge is too soft, it may not have chilled long enough. Allow it to set for several more hours, or even overnight, in the refrigerator. If it's too hard, it could be due to over-melting the chocolate or using too much condensed milk. Make sure to follow the recipe closely for the best results.

Instructions

Line an 8×8 or 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
In a double boiler, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with half of the sweetened condensed milk. Stir until smooth. Alternatively, melt in the microwave in 30-second bursts.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes to allow it to set.
In another bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with the remaining sweetened condensed milk. Stir in peppermint extract. Add a few drops of red food coloring for a marbled effect.
Once the chocolate layer has set, pour the peppermint mixture over it. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the layers together.
Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies over the top and press them gently into the fudge.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set. Slice into squares before serving.

Notes

Ensure that the chocolate is melted over low heat to prevent it from seizing.
If the fudge is too soft to cut, refrigerate it longer or overnight.
For cleaner cuts, use a warm knife and wipe it between slices.
If you prefer a less sweet version, you can substitute dark chocolate for the semi-sweet chocolate.
