Ingredients

Scale

3 cups (510g) white chocolate chips
1 can (14 oz / 396g) sweetened condensed milk
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
Red food coloring (gel or liquid)
Crushed peppermint candies or candy canes (optional for topping)

Instructions

Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting later.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
Stir in salt and peppermint extract. Mix until well blended.
Pour mixture into the pan. Drop a few dots of red food coloring and swirl gently with a toothpick for a marbled look.
Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies on top for crunch and holiday sparkle.
Refrigerate for 3-4 hours, or until firm. Lift out and cut into squares before serving or gifting.

Notes

Keep in an airtight container in the fridge up to 2 weeks or at room temperature for 1 week.
Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
Use quality white chocolate for smooth melting and clean flavor.
Add green coloring for a festive twist, swirl in dark chocolate, or top with holiday sprinkles.
Pack in tins, boxes, or cellophane bags for beautiful edible gifts.
