Ingredients

Vegetable oil, cooking spray 

2 cups sugar 

1 teaspoon salt 

6 tablespoons unsalted butter 

1 cup heavy cream 

3 1/2 cups mini marshmallows 

3 cups semisweet or white chocolate chips 

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 

1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy 

Preparation

Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with two sheets of waxed or parchment paper in a crisscross manner (one lengthwise, one crosswise) so ends overhang sides of pan; coat evenly with cooking spray.

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, cook sugar, salt, butter, cream, and marshmallows, stirring, until butter and marshmallows are almostmelted, 5 to 6 minutes.

Bring mixture to a boil; cook, stirring occasionally,5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add chips and vanilla; stir until chips are melted. Pour mixture into lined pan.

Let fudge cool in the pan at room temperature,3 hours. Use edges of paper to lift out fudge; place on cutting board, and remove paper. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters, or cut fudge into bars. Sprinkle evenly with crushed candy.
