Peppermint Fudge Truffles
Lolo's Desserts | December 2019
Ingredients:
4 Tablespoons butter
1 can sweetened condensed milk
3 cups milk, dark or semi sweet chocolate chips
7 oz jar of marshmallow fluff
1 1/2 cups Andes peppermint crunch baking chips
Topping:
18-20 oz white chocolate
10-12 peppermint candy canes
Instructions:
Line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray. make sure to get the sides.
Place chocolate chips and marshmallow fluff in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
In a saucepan, melt the butter and condensed milk together. Bring to simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly so that condensed milk doesn't burn.
Once melted, combined and smooth, pour hot condensed milk mixture into the bowl of chocolate chips and fluff and whisk until all smooth. Quickly fold in peppermint crunch baking chips and then pour your fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Let it stand on the counter until it cools down a bit, 15 minutes or so. Then, place the pan in the refrigerator to chill and firm up for a couple of hours.
Once firmed up, take the fudge with parchment paper out of the pan. Using a cookie scoop, scoop out chocolate fudge and shape them into fudge balls. Place them onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Once all the balls have been rolled out, place them into a freezer for 15-20 minutes.
Unwrap candy canes and place then into a ziploc bag. Crush candy canes using any hard kitchen utensil (I have a metal ladle that works nicely or a rolling pin)
Melt the white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments, stirring after each time until smooth. Using a fork, dip each fudge ball into chocolate, covering it completely then gently shake off excess.
Place the ball back onto the parchment (use a toothpick to help slide it off the fork) Quickly sprinkle it generously with crushed candy canes. Repeat with all the fudge balls. Store in the refrigerator, covered or in a container with a lid.
