Day 3 - A Glitch in the plans

Welcome to

Day 3

of

my Twelve Days of Christmas Celebration

I was planning to feature a twine star project, but I got 3/4 of the way through and ran out of twine! Yikes...so that project will have to wait until another day.  

 I had to scramble to look over my other ideas and come up with a post for today, and this recipe looked fast and easy!

Sorry for featuring another recipe so soon, but things happen and it couldn't be helped on such short notice.

I hope you enjoy this...it's a nice change from the heavy chocolate fudge and very yummy!

White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge

White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge
adapted from Taste of Home

Ingredients:
1/4 cup Butter, softened
2 cups Sugar
1/2 cup Sour Cream
12 oz White Baking Chocolate, chopped
1 jar (7oz) Marshmallow Creme
1/2 cup Ground Candy Canes (I used my little chopper for this, but you could pound them into pieces)

 1/2 tsp Peppermint Extract

1. Line a 9 inch square pan with foil. Coat foil with thin layer of cooking spray; set aside.

 

2. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, sour cream and remaining butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a rapid boil; cook and stir for about 5 minutes. 

 

3. Remove from the heat; stir in white chocolate and marshmallow creme until melted. Fold in ground candy canes and extract. Pour into prepared pan. Chill until firm.

 

4. Using foil, lift fudge out of pan. Gently peel off foil; cut fudge into 1-inch squares. Store in the refrigerator.
