Candy Cane Fudge

Every year, my best friend and i get together to do our holiday baking together. we found a new recipe last year, which we decided to try. it turned out fantastic. Both of our families really liked this fudge. so i thought i would post the recipe here, for others to enjoy. it's quick to fix (only about 15-20 minutes) and it's very easy as candy-making goes. the cooking time listed below is the minimum chilling time needed for the fudge to set" well enough to cut into individual serving pieces."
