Grandma’s Peppermint Fudge Recipe

Grandma's Peppermint Fudge Recipe

Hello there sweet friends and happy Monday! I am joining Kristen from Ella Claire again this week for another round of Tastes of the Season recipe series. This time it is all about sweet treats at Christmas and mine is an all time favorite: peppermint fudge. This recipe belonged to my darling grandma and I am delighted to share it with you. Hers is really made without the peppermint, but I couldn’t resist adding it!

As always, due to our dietary needs around here, I have adjusted this recipe to be a dairy/gluten free version but will add how to make it original as well. Here are the ingredients you will need for this easy recipe down below!

*Please note, depending on  the severity of allergies it is always important to check ingredients. Some of the food below may contain traces of dairy or gluten.

Grandma's Peppermint Fudge Recipe

  • 7 ou. Marshmallow Cream
  • 1 1/2 cups of sugar
  • 2/3 cup of coconut cream (or condensed milk for the original version)
  • 1/4 cup dairy free butter (dairy butter for the original)
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 12 ou. of dairy free chocolate chips or bars (you can use any type of chocolate for the original version too)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • Toppings of your choice: 1/2 cup nuts or sprinkled crushed candy canes, etc…

Here is how you will whip up this sweet treat! So so easy…

Grandma's Peppermint Fudge Recipe

  • Grease an 8 x 8 inch glass dish (although I used a smaller size because I wanted the fudge to be thicker). Combine the marshmallow cream, sugar, the coconut cream, df butter and salt into a sauce pan.  Bring to a full boil stirring constantly over moderate heat.

  • Remove the mixture from the heat. Add the chocolate and stir in until melted. At this point, when everything is all combined you could throw in the nuts.

  • Or you can layer the fudge in your greased pan and sprinkle toppings atop.

    I’m curious the DF butter you used? I wonder if coconut butter would work? Looks delicious!

      Hi Kerri,
      that is a great question… I am not sure about coconut butter as I have not used it for baking yet, but I am intrigued to try. I use the Earth Balance variety and it seems to work really well! Thanks so much!
