I decided to get creative today. I came up with this fudge,and design. Oh my goodness! This fudge is fantastic and so simple. The candy cane with the chocolate is awesome. The Andes Peppermint Crunch baking chips are really good.I had bought them last week, and I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them.I am going to have this on my table at Christmas.

    Get another microwave bowl and mix 5 ounces( half the bag of Andes peppermint crunch) and stir with the remaining condensed milk. Microwave the same as in step 2. pour over candy cane mixture and gently smooth around the ring. At this point you can add colored candy for a festive look. I sliced the tops off of some gum drops,but colored m&m's would work well too.Gently remove center ring and press crushed candy cane along inside of ring hole. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours
