    This Candy Cane Fudge recipe is incredible! Creamy, smooth and loaded with candy cane flavour! A must make Holiday Treat.

    Stack of pink fudge made with ground up candy canes.This recipe starts with making candy cane sugar by simply grinding candy canes into a fine sugar. The candy cane sugar replaces some of the granulated sugar for exceptional candy cane flavour! I use pink/red coloured, cherry flavoured candy canes as they taste great and add a beautiful pink colour to the fudge.

    Everyone enjoys fudge, especially during the Holiday season. Candy Cane Fudge makes the perfect Holiday treat or homemade gift. I buy beautiful decorative tins to fill with fudge for great hostess, office and last minutes gifts. Homemade treats are always a hit!

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 cups granulated sugar
    • ½ cup candy canes finely ground I use pink/red coloured, cherry flavoured
    • ¾ cup butter
    • ¾ cup heavy cream
    • pinch of salt
    • 12 oz white chocolate chopped chips will work
    • 1 7oz jar marshmallow creme

    Instructions
     

    • Line 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
    • Using a food processor, grind about 6-7 candy canes to a fine sugar consistency to equal ½ cup
    • In large mixing bowl stir together white chocolate chips and marshmallow creme. Set aside.
    • In medium heavy saucepan, add granulated sugar, candy cane sugar, butter, heavy cream and salt.
    • Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously.
    • Continue to boil medium heat for 4 minutes, stirring constantly.
    • Remove from heat and pour over white chocolate and marshmallow creme.
    • Using electric mixer with paddle attachment blend for about 1 minute until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth.
    • Pour into prepared baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set. (at least 4 hours)
    • Once set, cut into small bite sized pieces. Store in refrigerator in airtight container.

    Notes

    I like cherry flavoured red and white candy canes. They make a beautiful pink colour, but lately can only seem to find the red/white peppermint variety. These will work just fine just with a peppermint flavour instead of cherry.

      Can this recipe be used with Ghiradelli melting wafers?

        Hi Sherry, you could use candy melts but I wouldn't recommend it. The fudge won't taste as good as using good quality white chocolate.

      Can fudge be frozen ahead of time? Does it lose any quality?

          If you freeze it, do you thaw before serving?

            Hi Jamie, I would thaw them in refrigerator, so they thaw more slowly. Also store in airtight container in refrigerator.
