12 Days of Christmas // Peppermint Fudge ♥

 
Hello Everyone and happy Friday! 
 
It's day 2 of my 12 days of Christmas series and today I want to talk about fudge! Smooth, creamy, chocolate fudge! What's Christmas without fudge? 
 
For me it's a tradition that I make fudge every holiday season.  Last year, thanks to The Pioneer Woman, I tried a new recipe and it was amazing! I blogged about it, but in case you missed it I wanted to post it here for the 12 days of Christmas.  I'll be making a double batch for Christmas eve (maybe sooner : ) and in case you were looking for a chocolate treat to indulge in or share with family, here you go:
 
 


There are only 3 ingredients in this recipe!  It's so easy!

 



All you need is 3 cups of chocolate chips,  a 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk, and 7-8 peppermint candies or candy canes...crushed!
 

 
 
 
 
Combine the chocolate chips and condensed milk in a double boiler over med heat.  Heat until melted, about 5-7 minutes.
 
 
 
 
Cook until the chocolate is nice and smooth...
 
The smell is insane! Your entire kitchen will smell like chocolate ♥ 
 
 
 
 
 
Silky! ♥
 
 
 
 
 
Immediately pour into a foil lined square baking dish.
 
(I sprayed mine with non stick spray as well just to be safe)
 
 
Sprinkle with candy!
 
 
 
 
Now refrigerate for 2 hours. 
 
 
 
 
Once set, cut into squares. 
 
 
 
 
 Enjoy!
 
 
But that's not all....
 
 
 
 
Before I go I wanted to tell you about tonight's tea selection.  I had Twinings Ceylon Orange Pekoe and it was delicious. I had mine with sugar and a splash of lemon juice.  It was divine. 
 
 
 
 
I had today off from work and spent the day finishing up my Christmas shopping. It was a long day and this tea was just what I needed.  At 8pm we cozied up on the couch and tuned into to the colorized I Love Lucy colorized Christmas special ♥  I loved it so much! 
 
A perfect ending to my very Christmassy day~
 
 
 
 
 Thank you for joining me for day 2!  And please remember to visit my friend Madison's blog . She's also participating in the series! Today she shares the details of her Christmas themed bridal shower. It looked beyond beautiful! ♥♥♥
 
I'll see you all tomorrow! xo

Peppermint Fudge ♥

 
 
While I was binging on episodes of the Pioneer Woman this weekend, I saw this recipe for peppermint fudge.  It looked so festive and delicious I thought it might be nice for Christmas eve so naturally I had to "test it". 
 
 
 
 
Only two ingredients....three if you count the peppermints.  I've made fudge in the past and it's always been a process.  A lot stirring and adding ingredients.  This method looked so simple.  And who doesn't love fudge?
 
 
 
 
All you need is 3 cups of chocolate chips,  a 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk, and 7-8 peppermint candies...
 
 
 
 
Crushed  ♥

The smell is insane! My entire kitchen smelled like chocolate. 
 
I felt like Mrs. Clause ♥
 
 
 
 
 No lumps ♥
 
 
 
 
Immediately pour into a foil lined square baking dish.
 
(I sprayed mine with non stick spray as well just to be safe)
 
 
 
 
 
Sprinkle with candy!
 
 
 
 
 
Now refrigerate for 2 hours.

So easy and so delicious!
 
 
 
 
 We all loved this fudge so much I'm definitely adding it to our holiday festivities!   
 
 
We are under two weeks until the big day!  I'm feeling really good.  I mailed all my cards and packages on Monday! That's a major milestone in holiday prep for me.  I won't even talk about how I had to wait in line for 30 minutes at the post office because they only had one person at the counter and the line was out the door.  No biggie.  So glad I had this fudge at home. 
 
Chocolate is my coping mechanism ♥
 
Happy Wednesday! xo
