1

Line a 13-by-9-inch pan with foil, leaving a few inches hanging over the edge of the pan. Grease the foil.

2

In a saucepan, combine the sugar, butter and evaporated milk. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Continue to boil for 5 minutes, still stirring constantly.

3

Remove from heat, and stir in chocolate chips until melted. Add the marshmallow creme, vanilla and peppermint extract, stirring well. Quickly, gently fold in about a cup of mini-marshmallows.

4

Pour into pan and spread out evenly. Top with more mini-marshmallows and crushed peppermint candy, and gently press into the fudge.

5

Set aside until cooled and set, then pull the foil out of the pan and cut the fudge into squares.
