This creamy peppermint mocha fudge is made with just four ingredients and comes together in minutes. It’s the perfect last-minute holiday treat that looks and tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces (340 grams) white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) peppermint mocha creamer
  • 1 cup (about 200 grams) marshmallow fluff
  • 1/2 cup (85 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for swirl)

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches of overhang on two opposite sides. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray if desired.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate chips, peppermint mocha creamer, and marshmallow fluff. Stir constantly with a silicone spatula until smooth and fully melted, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat. The mixture should be thick and glossy. If it looks separated, whisk vigorously for 30 seconds or add a tablespoon of warm creamer and whisk.
  4. Pour the white chocolate mixture into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer with the spatula.
  5. In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat semi-sweet chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted (about 60 to 90 seconds total).
  6. Drop spoonfuls of melted semi-sweet chocolate onto the white fudge base. Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the dark chocolate into the white, making figure-eight motions. Do not over-swirl.
  7. Place the pan in the refrigerator, uncovered, for at least 2 hours until completely set. (For faster setting, freeze for about 45 minutes.)
  8. Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Place on a cutting board and cut into 1-inch squares with a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts.

Notes

Use high-quality white chocolate chips (like Ghirardelli or Guittard) for best results. Avoid white chocolate ‘morsels’ labeled as baking chips. For dairy-free, use dairy-free white chocolate chips and dairy-free peppermint mocha creamer (texture will be softer). For a caffeine-free version, use caffeine-free peppermint creamer and skip the coffee flavor. The fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or frozen for up to 3 months. Flavors deepen after a day or two in the fridge.
