Instructions

3. Remove from heat and stir in peppermint extract and salt.
4. Transfer 2 tablespoons of the fudge mixture to a small bowl and mix in red food coloring.
5. Pour the plain fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of the red mixture on top and swirl using a skewer or butter knife.
6. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours until set.
7. Lift the fudge out by the parchment, cut into squares, and serve or store.
Notes
Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
Let the fudge come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
Freeze for longer storage—wrap tightly and thaw before cutting.
