Peppermint Crunch Andes Candies Fudge is an easy, microwaveable fudge that is perfect for the holidays! Great as teacher, friend, and neighbor gifts!

There are certain candies everyone remembers as kids. For me, I can remember getting Andes mints clearly at special events- visiting family members, after a really nice dinner- they were always something from a great night.

I was recently making up a ton of fudge for friend and teacher gifts, and I stumbled across some delicious looking peppermint crunch Andes- and knew I needed to make something with them!

I am using a simple, microwaveable vanilla fudge recipe as a perfect base for these delicious pepperminty treats. They are perfect for Christmas- and look just as beautiful as they taste!

Fudge is one of my hands down favorite gifts to give- it is quick, tasty, and easy- and this version is incredibly simple. The hands-on time is less than 5 minutes- and it sets in the fridge or freezer in less than 2 hours.

It's great for people who have huge Christmas lists and lots of people to give gifts to this year- simply pop them into a cute bag or box- or even in a decked out mason jar with some cute decorative accents (I grabbed Jar Bling from Joann Fabric and Craft Stores- it makes a perfectly festive present!!)

I hope you love this deliciously festive fudge as much as we do!
