This delicious candy cane chocolate fudge only uses 4 ingredients and is so quick and easy to make! The perfect Christmas treat or gift.
Are you looking for a quick and easy treat for Christmas? This Candy cane chocolate fudge is so easy to whip up.
It only has four ingredients: candy canes, condensed milk, butter and chocolate. My favourite to use is Whittaker's and I use a combination of the milk and dark chocolate.
HOW TO MAKE CANDY CANE CHOCOLATE FUDGE:
It is such a simple recipe you just melt the chocolate in a sauce pan then add the butter and condensed milk.
Stir it all together until smooth and then pour it into a tray lined with baking paper.
Once it is poured into the tray you can sprinkle over the crushed up candy canes. I like to put the candy canes in a bag before breaking them up with a rolling pin so that they don't go everywhere.
Once you have added the candy canes put it into the fridge to set, then slice it into small pieces. I like to keep it chilled in the fridge in an airtight container.
This candy cane chocolate fudge also makes for a tasty gift for your friends and family. Just put it into cute clear bags or little paper boxes and add a nice Christmas ribbon.
You could add any topping you like to this easy chocolate base: M&Ms, pretzels, marshmallow, nuts or fruit. You could also swap the chocolate for white chocolate if that is your fave.

I followed this recipe & unfortunately it’s not setting. Why would this be?
Vanya says
Mine doesn't set completely hard but it is hard enough to cut into pieces.
Larissa says
You need to cook the mixture a bit longer until it has thickened up and is smooth and glossy, then it should firm up when set.
Claire says
Very yummy but it wouldn’t set enough to even cut it. And within minutes of being out of the fridge, it was really really soft.
VJ cooks says
Thanks for your comment Claire. This fudge is on the softer side however, I've amended the recipe to include cooking the mixture longer on the stove top. This will help firm it up. Apologies!
