Red Velvet Candy Cane Fudge Recipe image

My favorite kind of cake, red velvet, inspired me to create this fudge. If you like, spoon the candy mixture into paper-lined mini-muffin cups instead of spreading it into a pan. -Crystal Schlueter, Northglenn, Colorado

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tsp butter
2 packages (12 oz each) white baking chips divided
2/3 c semisweet chocolate chips
3 tsp shortening divided
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1-1/2 tsp red paste food coloring
4 c confectioners' sugar, divided
6 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbs crushed peppermint candies

Steps:

  • Line a 13x9-in. pan with foil; grease foil with butter.
  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 3-1/4 cups white baking chips, chocolate chips and 2 teaspoons shortening. Microwave, uncovered, on high 1 minute; stir. Microwave at additional 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Stir in milk and food coloring; gradually add 1 cup confectioners' sugar. Spread into prepared pan.
  • In another large microwave-safe bowl, melt remaining white baking chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Beat in cream cheese and extracts. Gradually beat in remaining confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Spread over red layer; sprinkle with crushed candies. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm.
  • Using foil, lift fudge out of pan. Remove foil; cut fudge into 1-in. squares. Store between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container.
  • Yield: 3-3/4 pounds.
