Ingredients

2 cans (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 cans (12 oz) evaporated whole milk
6 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp instant coffee
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp peppermint extract
1/2 cup peppermint candy canes

Steps

Grease an 8-inch square pan with 1 tablespoon of the butter.
Combine the condensed milk, evaporated milk, remaining butter, cocoa powder, and coffee in a heavy 3-quart saucepan.
Cook the mixture over medium-low heat for 28 to 32 minutes, stirring often, until very thick and pulling from the pan.
Stir in the vanilla and peppermint extracts, then spread the fudge into the prepared pan.
Crush the candy canes and sprinkle them over the warm fudge, pressing them in lightly.
Cool the fudge for 20 minutes, then refrigerate it for 20 minutes before cutting.
