Three ingredients go into this fudge and nothing else: white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk and crushed candy canes.
The chips and milk melt together over low heat for three to five minutes, then half the candy canes are folded in and the rest go on top.

- White chocolate chips
- Three cups, the base of the fudge.
- Sweetened condensed milk
- One 14-ounce can.
- Crushed candy canes
- Three quarters of a cup, half folded in and a quarter cup on top.
How to Make It
Pan lined

Candy canes folded
Fold in 1/2 cup crushed candy canes. Spread in the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup candy canes over the top.
Chilled and cut
Refrigerate at least 2 hours, until firm, then cut into 25 squares.
