Happy Holidays!!
I've been thinking about Christmas songs...
Like for the first time.
I've never really paid attention to the lyrics before, and they're actually really good! Next time you sing "O Come All Ye Faithful," or "Hark the Herald Angels Sing," or "Joy to the World," I challenge you to listen to the words. Phrases like "Mild he lays his glory by," and "Come let us adore him," and "He comes to make his blessings flow as far as the curse is found," are deeply beautiful, profound, and heavy.
Alright recipe time.
Chocolate and peppermint are the flavors of this wonderful season, and fudge is a great gift, wrapped in cellophane alongside sugar cookies and candy canes. This recipe is easily one of my new favorite classics because it is incredibly easy, thick and rich, and oh so tasty.
Not to mention it takes all of 3 minutes to make.
Ingredients:
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (14 oz) package semi sweet chocolate chips
1 (10 oz) package Andes mint baking chips
about 3 candy canes to crush for garnish
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the chocolate and mint chips.
2. Stir in sweetened condensed milk.
3. Microwave for 3 minutes and stir until smooth. (This is a good time to crush the candy canes)
4. Pour into a 9 x 9 pan (Yeah... I had a round 8" glass dish which worked great! But your fudge gets thicker for every downsize of pan)
5. Sprinkle crushed candy canes atop fudge, let cool, and enjoy.
Thanks to Vanessa from V and Co for the recipe!
