Ingredients
2 cups white chocolate chips
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
3 to 4 drops red gel food coloring
1 tablespoon butter (optional)
Instructions
1. In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt white chocolate chips until smooth, stirring frequently.
2. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and peppermint extract. Mix until fully combined and glossy.
3. Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper. Pour in the mixture and smooth the surface.
4. Add drops of red gel food coloring to the top and swirl gently with a toothpick to create a marbled pattern.
5. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until firm.
6. Once set, lift out using parchment, slice into squares, and serve or store.
Notes
Use high-quality white chocolate for the smoothest, creamiest texture.
Don’t over-swirl the food coloring—less is more for that perfect marbled look.
Store in layers with parchment paper in the fridge for the cleanest presentation.
