Candy Cane Fudge

I've been posting a lot of Peppermint and Chocolate Recipes, and I thought I was finished, but I couldn't help but post a recipe for Candy Cane Fudge. This one is adapted from Erin's Files.  I didn't include the espresso or vanilla which is in the original recipe, so be sure and check out the original recipe if you're interested. You can also use chocolate chips if you don't have dark chocolate bars.

There's nothing quite like Chocolate and Peppermint! Perfect for the holidays. I'll add this to my Peppermint and Chocolate Holiday Round-up.
