This easy, creamy holiday fudge features a festive green color and a cool minty flavor from creme de menthe liqueur. It’s a crowd-pleasing treat perfect for parties, gifts, or cozy nights in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup marshmallow creme
  • 1/4 cup creme de menthe liqueur
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract (optional)
  • Green food coloring (gel or liquid, a few drops)
  • Chocolate chips or shavings (optional, for topping)
  • Crushed candy canes or sprinkles (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy lifting.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and white chocolate chips, stirring constantly until smooth (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Add sweetened condensed milk and salt, stirring until fully blended and glossy.
  4. Stir in marshmallow creme until completely incorporated and silky.
  5. Remove from heat. Stir in creme de menthe liqueur, peppermint extract (if using), and a few drops of green food coloring until the mixture is vibrant green.
  6. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Add toppings if desired.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set. For a firmer texture, chill overnight.
  8. Lift fudge out of the pan using parchment overhang. Cut into 25 squares, wiping the knife between cuts for clean edges.
  9. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

Use low heat and stir constantly to avoid scorching the white chocolate. Room temperature ingredients blend more smoothly. Add toppings before chilling so they stick. For alcohol-free fudge, substitute mint syrup or peppermint extract and green food coloring. Fudge sets quickly after adding liqueur, so work fast. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
