Here are the ingredients you need:
Chocolate Chips – You can use milk chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips for this recipe. If you like your fudge sweet, use milk chocolate. If you prefer a less-sweet fudge, use semi-sweet.
Butter –If you have been here before you know I always use real butter. If you only have margarine, it will work for this recipe.
Condensed Milk – You will want to use sweetened condensed milk for this recipe.
Peppermint – I recommend using crushed candy canes or peppermint crunch baking chips for this recipe
