Delicious homemade peppermint fudge made with sweet and condensed milk from scratch!
today, i’m excited to bring you this ridiculously easy (and delicious) peppermint fudge. It’s so good, you won’t believe how easy it is to make!

Why do you need this fudge recipe you ask? Well first of all because it’s a fudge recipe, duh! And secondly (and thirdly), because this recipe has only 3 main ingredients and can be made on the stove or….wait for it… in the microwave! C’mon, you know you’re excited now! You can have delicious fudge in like 5 minutes flat!

…Unless you go a step further like I did…and make your own sweetened and condensed milk of course, then it’s more like 2 hours and 5 minutes!

I’ve never tried to make sweetened and condensed milk before, and actually I never even thought about that possibility, until yesterday when I read the ingredient list on the can. Light bulb! I could totally make this! It’s really easy, minus the 2 hours of simmering time…that wasn’t my favorite, but the final outcome was pretty fantastic (especially for use in fudge)!

And just so you know, I’ve made this fudge both ways (now) and they were both scrumptious, so don’t feel like you have to get your Betty on and make your own sweetened and condensed milk unless, of course, you’re dying to try it! Then by all means, check out my recipe below!
