Now, I absolutely love fudge. It's the perfect homemade gift, and over the holidays fudge is always a crowd pleaser. Especially when there's candy canes on top. Who could resist?

I don't think holiday baking and candy making should be stressful though.

The holidays are for spending time with family and friends - not stressing in the kitchen. So this candy cane chocolate fudge is super easy to make.

You don't need a candy thermometer, AND there's only 4 ingredients needed. Easy peasy.

How to Make Candy Cane Chocolate Fudge

This recipe is super easy and straight forward - even if you've never made fudge before. In a medium saucepan we'll add chocolate chips & a can of sweetened condensed milk.

Then melt everything together over low heat while stirring. Make sure the heat is on low, otherwise you can burn the chocolate.

Then once the chocolate is just melted, remove from the heat and gently stir in the vanilla.

The creamy fudge mixture is poured into a square pan, and crushed candy canes are sprinkled on top. Then the fudge goes in the fridge to chill.

After it's fully hardened, you can either cut the fudge into squares (as pictured) or use cookie cutters to cut fun, festive shapes.

This candy cane fudge is smooth, creamy & perfect for the holidays.

So if you're looking for a really easy, really delicious chocolate fudge recipe - then this one's for you!
