Ingredients

nonstick cooking spray
2 (10 ounce) packages vanilla baking chips
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1.5 cups crushed candy canes
0.5 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 dash red or green food coloring

Instructions

Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with aluminum foil; spray generously with nonstick cooking spray and then set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine vanilla chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir frequently until the chips are almost fully melted; remove the saucepan from the heat and continue to stir until the fudge is completely smooth. Stir in the crushed candy canes, peppermint extract, and red food coloring (if using).
Spread the candy cane fudge evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours to allow it to set completely. Once set, cut the fudge into perfect squares and serve.
