This Peppermint Hot Chocolate Fudge recipe just SCREAMS Christmas time! You’ll love the rich dark chocolate fudge, tasty marshmallows, and sweet peppermint combination!

If there’s a dessert that makes me think of Christmas, it’s fudge. My mom usually makes Rocky Road Fudge, but I put a new spin on it…left out the nuts and put peppermint on it instead. If you LOVE peppermint, you’ll go crazy for this Peppermint Hot Chocolate Fudge Recipe! As long as I have fudge and Biscochitos this year, I’ll be a happy camper.

It’s not Christmas without fudge or hot chocolate, so I figured I should combine the two with a touch of peppermint. I used a combination of dark chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips to give it a really rich flavor. You can use semi-sweet, but I think dark chocolate really makes it. This fudge is really soft and creamy and takes a while to set. I usually put it in the fridge to make it easier to cut.
