Christmas Recipes: Peppermint Brittle
This recipe is very easy to make and is a hit with any of your family or friends that love peppermint!
Ingredients
2 lbs. white chocolate
30 small peppermint candy canes
Directions
Line a jellyroll pan with parchment paper or heavy tin foil. In a microwave safe container add the white chocolate and heat on medium in the microwave for about 4-6 minutes. Stop during heating and stir occasionally until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
In a large plastic bag add the candy canes. Using a rolling pin or another similar tool, begin breaking the candy into small pieces. Stir the candy into the melted chocolate and spread in the pan, evenly.
Place in refrigerator for about 60 minutes and then break the candy into pieces.
Here’s an idea: Take a piece of Peppermint Brittle and add it to a steaming cup of hot chocolate. YUM!
Never-Fail Christmas Fudge
This tasty fudge is soft, but not gooey. Be careful; it tends to splatter as it cooks. If you live at a high altitude, decrease cooking time to about 3 minutes or 222 degrees on a candy therm.

- 2 cups sugar
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk
- 12 regular marshmallows
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
In a 2-quart saucepan combine the sugar, evaporated milk, marshmallows, butter, and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil and is bubbling. Boil and stir for 5 minutes; remove from the heat. Stir in the chocolate chips until completely melted; stir in the walnuts and vanilla. Spread into a buttered 8-inch-square pan and cool before cutting.
