Bake and Thank with Peppermint Holiday Gift Ideas {TV}

By Arredmon @mamachallenge
The holidays get everyone in the mood to bake and thank your neighbors, friends and family, especially ME!  I'm slightly obsessed with PEPPERMINT, so I've researched Pinterest and created some of my own favorite peppermint recipes for this year's round of holiday giving!  I even found a how-to to create  tray serving tray made of peppermints to make and give goodies for the perfect holiday gift!

EASY PEPPERMINT FUDGE
Inspired by Sally's Baking Addiction

Line 8x8 square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Spray lightly with cooking spray.

Combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until chips are melted. Remove from heat and stir in the peppermint extract and candy canes.

Spread evenly into prepared baking pan. Top with chocolate chips and gently swirl them into the fudge with a knife. Top with a few more crushed candy cane pieces. Chill for 3 hours, then cut into squares.
