I made a double batch of this fudge for a bake sale. Forgot to put in the peppermint flavoring, but the crushed candy canes gave it plenty of peppermint flavor, especially after a few days-the candy canes really came through flavor-wise. Used 24 candy canes (the cheap ones)for the double recipe, and that was way plenty. The day the fudge was made, you could taste the white chocolate and Eagle Brand a little, but after a few days, the peppermint was the only flavor you could detect. I used the toothpick method to drag small drops of red food coloring around on the top before the candy hardened. This seemed to work well, and almost looked like the picture.
Don't drop too much food coloring on top, though, or it looks rather traumatized. Just use a couple of drops at a time. I microwaved the white chocolate chips and Eagle Brand for 3 minutes at power 7--just until barely warmed, then stirred till smooth. (1100 watt oven) This worked really well and was much easier than the stove method. A very good recipe and different. Especially good for Christmas holidays.
