This Layered White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha Fudge is easy to make and perfect for packaging up for friends and family for the holidays!
It’s been a holiday baking palooza at our house. We are about 90% finished with the gifts and along with the cookies, caramel corn, and bark—-fudge is one of my favorite treats I make around this time of year to package up and send along to friends and neighbors.
This Layered White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha Fudge is so fun to make with the different layers and combines all the flavors you love about the beloved Starbucks drink.
The pretty contrast of white to dark chocolate with the hint of mocha and kiss of peppermint is truly the best! It makes a decadent treat and perfect for gift giving!

Instructions
- Line an 8 x 8 square pan with parchment paper leaving an overhang (or foil) and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.

- Pour the mixture into prepared pan, smoothing the top with an offset spatula. Place the pan in the refrigerator to cool.
- Meanwhile, make the White Chocolate Layer - Rinse the bowl or get another heatproof bowl and set over same saucepan over heated water. Pour 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk and add white chocolate and butter, stirring constantly until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Pour the white chocolate layer over the peppermint layer, spreading evenly with an offset spatula. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes. Place the pan back in the refrigerator and chill until firm about 3 hours.
- Once fudge is set, use overhang edges to lift the fudge out of the pan. Top with a few more crushed candy cane pieces if desired. Cut into squares. Store in refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
