Marbled Peppermint Fudge
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.

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.
- 12 ounces chocolate chips
- 6 ounces white chocolate chips
- 2 sticks butter, divided
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 7 ounces marshmallow creme, divided
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 4 1/2 cups sugar
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- 1 cup Ande's mints
To a large bowl add the chocolate chips, 11 tablespoons of butter, pecans, vanilla and 5 ounces marshmallow creme.
To a medium bowl add the white chocolate chips, 5 tablespoons of butter, peppermint extract and 2 ounces marshmallow creme.
In a large pan, heat sugar and evaporated milk, bringing to a full rolling boil while stirring constantly.
Boil 9 minutes over low heat, stirring constantly.
Pour about 2/3 of the mixture in the large bowl of ingredients.
Stir well until the chocolate and butter have melted.
Pour 2/3 of the chocolate mixture in a sprayed 9 x 13 baking dish.
Pour the rest of the sugar/milk mixture into the medium bowl of ingredients.
Stir well until the white chocolate and butter have melted.
Pour on top of the chocolate chip layer in the baking dish, carefully leveling out.
If the remaining chocolate chip mixture in the bowl has thickened up, you may need to put it in the microwave for 30-40 seconds to soften.
Dollop on the remaining chocolate chip mixture onto the white chocolate chip layer.
Carefully level off.
Sprinkle the top with the chopped Ande's mints.
Carefully press down the mints into the chocolate.
Refrigerate until firm enough to slice with a sharp knife.

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.
Thanks Renae!
Gratis recipe! I was just looking for a recipe to use our marshmallow fluff and this is perfect. I love fudge, but never made it with those ingredients. Thanks for sharing!
