⭐️ Tips for Perfect Fudge
✔ Use quality white chocolate
Better chocolate → smoother, silkier fudge.
✔ Avoid overheating
If the chocolate becomes grainy, it’s overheated. Keep heat low and constant.
✔ Want more crunch?
Fold in whole mini Oreos instead of chopped.
✔ Want a stronger peppermint flavor?
Add up to 1 ½ tsp peppermint extract (taste before adding more).
🍬 Variations
Cookies & Cream Version (no peppermint)
Replace candy canes with more Oreos and skip the extract.
Thin Mint Style

Crushed Andes Mints Topping
