Chocolate Peppermint Fudge

Chocolate peppermint fudge probably doesn’t require much introduction.  Suffice it to say it tastes as good as it sounds.

The Ingredients

1 ¼ c sugar

1/3 c milk alternative

½ t salt

¾ c vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 t peppermint extract

2 T margarine

crushed candy cane for decoration

The Process

1. Oil a 9x5 bread pan
2. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring “milk” and sugar to a boil, stirring constantly.  Stop stirring once it boils and let it cook until it reaches 235 degrees.
3. Remove from heat, add remaining ingredients (except candy cane), and whisk until smooth.
4. Pour into prepared pan.
5. If using candy cane, sprinkle it over the top of the fudge and press it in a little to make it stick
6. Refrigerate until firm, about 1.5 hours.
