Peppermint Fudge (not Chocolate!) image

Generally my response to non-chocolate candy is "what's the point?" This, however, has become my favorite Christmas candy! My daughter found it in one of those Pillsbury/Betty Crocker booklets they tempt you with at the checkout stands. Prep time does not include cooling time.

This fudge was a bit too minty for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be perfect for a holiday party.

This fudge is amazing! It's the perfect combination of sweet and minty. I've already made it twice and I'm sure I'll be making it again soon.

This fudge was okay. It wasn't as minty as I was hoping, and it was a bit too sweet for my taste.

This fudge was a disaster! It turned out grainy and crumbly. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I won't be making this recipe again.

This fudge was a bit too minty for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use half the amount of peppermint extract.

I've made this fudge several times now and it always turns out perfect. It's the perfect balance of sweet and minty, and it's always a crowd-pleaser.
