  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup crushed peppermint candies (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the pan

    Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with unsalted butter.

    Use parchment paper for easier removal.
  2. Melt the chocolate

    In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

    Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
  4. Pour into the pan

    Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.

    Gently tap the pan to remove air bubbles.
  5. Chill the fudge

    Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

    For best results, let it chill overnight.
  6. Cut and serve

    Once set, cut into squares and garnish with crushed peppermint candies if desired.
