Step 5: Line an 8×8″ baking pan with parchment paper. and pour the fudge mixture into the pan.  Working quickly, spread the mixture out to the edge of the pan. We used a second piece of parchment paper to smooth out the fudge.
Step 6: Sprinkle a handful of crushed Candy Canes or Peppermint Candies over the top of the Fudge for decoration. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until fully set (2-3 hours or overnight.)

Step 7:  Remove from the refrigerator and cut into individual pieces.  Store in the refrigerator in an air-tight container but we think Fudge tastes best served at room temperature. It should only take about an hour for the fudge to come back up to room temperature.
