Marbled Peppermint Fudge is the featured recipe for December 5th of the Food Advent Calendar Spice It Up. Come along for some great holiday recipes from around the world.
Marbled Peppermint Fudge is the smoothest, creamiest fudge you will ever eat–no grainy sugar crystals here. I do not care for a strong mint flavor, so I made this recipe with a hint of mint. However, if you like a stronger mint flavoring, you could increase the peppermint extract. During the holidays, you can find the Ande’s mint baking chips available at the grocery stores. You could also purchase the mints and chop them up yourself. I just like skipping that step so I buy the baking chips. It is very important to boil the sugar and milk mixture exactly nine minutes in order for the fudge to set properly. Don’t rush this process. Marbled Peppermint Fudge would be the perfect ending to Roast Turkey Breast with Ease.

Hello Renae, I can't wait to try this recipe, but being from Australia, I'm not sure what Marshmallow Creme is. Is it the same as ordinary marshmallows? Thanks for your cultural understanding!

Rachel, Yes you can use marshmallows instead of marshmallow cream which is sometimes called marshmallow fluff.
