Peppermint Patty Fudge

Peppermint Patty Fudge makes the perfect hostess or holiday gift and only takes 15 minutes to prepare!

Peppermint Patty Fudge

Remember the other day when I was talking about the homemade holiday gifts I was going to make? I mentioned that I wanted to make something sweet. At the time I was thinking cookies. Then I came across this recipe for Peppermint Patty Fudge.

Peppermint Patty Fudge

This fudge is perfectly minty and chocolatey all at the same time. It comes together in no time flat and makes the perfect gift to ship to friends or bring to a hostess over the next couple of weeks. We enjoyed this fudge so much that I had to make a second batch to share with coworkers at a holiday dessert party I hosted last week.

Peppermint Patty Fudge

You’ll notice that I cut this fudge into fairly small pieces. It’s pretty intense so I figured I’d keep them small. People can always go back for a second if they want to enjoy more. I can see myself making this fudge throughout the year when I need a quick gift or treat to share. I know most people only enjoy minty desserts in the wintertime, and fudge too, but I love choco-minty desserts all year long!

Peppermint Patty Fudge

Peppermint Patty Fudge makes the perfect hostess or holiday gift and only takes 15 minutes to prepare!

Yield: ~3 dozen pieces

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 4 hours

Ingredients:

1 Bag Peppermint Patties

For the Chocolate Fudge
2 cups (12 oz) bittersweet or dark chocolate chips
1 Tbsp butter
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup marshmallow cream
1/4 cup dark cocoa powder

For the White Chocolate Fudge
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 Tbsp butter
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk

Directions:

Prepare the peppermint patties by unwrapping them all and cutting into smaller pieces. Set aside for later.

In a 9x9 pan, gently spray the bottom of the pan with cooking spray and cover the pan with tin foil. Set aside.

In a medium sized pot, combine chocolate chips, butter and sweetened condensed milk. Set aside.

Measure out the marshmallow cream and cocoa powder and set aside.

Combine white chocolate chips, butter and sweetened condensed milk is a separate medium size pot. Set aside.

Start with the chocolate fudge, melt over medium heat, stirring occasionally until chocolate is melted. Whisk vigorously to break up any last chunks. Add marshmallow cream and cocoa powder and stir until well combined. Reduce heat to medium low, and stir occasionally while preparing white chocolate fudge.

For the white chocolate fudge, melt over medium heat, stirring until melted. Keep a close eye on this because if you burn it at all, you will have brown spots in your fudge from the burnt chocolate. Continue to stir until melted and no chunks remain. Remove from heat.

Pour about half of the melted chocolate layer in the bottom of the 9x9 pan, spread evenly to cover.

Next, cover the top with peppermint patty pieces very thoroughly. Save the leftovers for the top. Cover with remaining melted chocolate.

Pour melted white chocolate on top and swirl with a knife.

Cover the top with remaining peppermint patty pieces.

Allow fudge to set in the refrigerator for at least four hours. When ready to serve, remove from fridge for about 20 minutes before cutting. Lift the entire block out of the pan, and peel back the tin foil to cut the fudge.

    Oh my, these look divine! I recently made something similar, but with no chocolate – just a pumpkin batter with cream cheese topping. But I definitely think I must try these too.

    They’re pretty rich, but I would imagine you could just double it and make it in a 9×13 pan if you wanted!

    i always make a pumpkin cheesecake in the fall with a ginger cookie crumb crust, but i’m liking the chocolate component in your recipe even more.

    These look great! Is there a way I can make them non-dairy? Something I can sub the cream cheese for? Thanks!

    Heather – I’ve had great luck subbing Tofutti Better than Cream Cheese in cheesecake recipes in the past. I think that would definitely work and you could use Earth Balance in the brownie portion. Let me know how it turns out if you try it.

    Your brownies look delicious! I am curious since I would like mine to taste more like pumpkin pie than plain pumpkin should i add pumpkin pie spices or follow your recipe for the spices?
    Thanks!

    Jen — October 14, 2009 at 12:03 pm

    fawkes – There are a decent amount of spices in the pumpkin portion of the batter. I would recommend making is as the recipe states, then taste it before you pour it into the pan. Maybe then add some pumpkin pie spice if you’d like.

    I stumbled across your blog from a Facebook friend and made these brownies last night. DELICIOUS!! I doubled the recipe and it does just fit in a 9×13 pan and took about 60 mins to bake. It’s worth the wait for them to be chilled in the fridge. The flavors are even more delicious that way.

    Oh YUM! And gorgeous, to boot. I never thought pumpkin and chocolate go together either, until I tried it! 🙂 Now I’m hooked. Good idea to double up on the cheesecake layer…you can never have enough pumpkin cheesecake after all!

    Hi Jen! I made these for Heather@BFM’s (comment listed above) birthday and she loved them! Unfortunately I could not find the Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa powder (I tried 3 stores) so I had to make them with the regular cocoa powder. Can you tell me where you found the Hershey’s Special Dark??

    Jen — March 3, 2010 at 1:57 am

    Kasey – I have actually had a hard time finding it as well. I had actually all but given up on it until one day it caught my eye at the grocery store. I proceeded to buy all three containers. I would say just keep an eye out for it and good luck!

    1/2 cup of flour seems like very little. Is that correct?

    Jen — September 28, 2010 at 12:50 am

    Pup – Yes, that is the correct amount of flour. Most brownie batters have very little flour in them.

    Just made these- delicious! I only had the milk chocolate powder, so I’m excited to try it again with the special dark powder.

    I doubled the recipe and it perfectly filled a 13×9 pan so you might try it. 🙂 And they are amazing. Also I used margerine not butter and found they were more moist. Happy Baking!

    I made these with my nieces and over all they were pretty good, but something about the pumpkin part tasted off. Still, fun and festive to make!
