Ingredients

  • 18 ounces vanilla baking chips about 1 bag and another cup, Some people call this white chocolate, but actual white chocolate is a horse of a different color. These are actually vanilla chips, and they sell them with all the chocolate chips in the baking aisle.
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz.
  • 1/4 cup butter cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Hershey's Candy Cane Kisses or crushed peppermint, but that will amp up the minty flavor a bit, so you may want to leave out the peppermint extract, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  • Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper or wax paper. Be sure to leave some hanging over the sides for easy removal later
  • In a double boiler, place the chips, condensed milk and butter and melt over low heat, stirring constantly. Keep going until you get a nice smooth, thick texture.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the extracts.
  • Pour into the pan and smooth into the corners. Top with the cut/crushed candy.
  • Chill at least 2 hours and then cut into squares and serve!
