Tips

• You can use parchment paper or aluminum to line the pan

• Allow enough of either the parchment paper or aluminum to overhang on the sides to easily remove the fudge once it's set

• Place candy canes in ziplock bag and use meat hammer or rolling pin to crush. This will allow uniform powder to form and no mess or kitchen damage will occur

• Marshmallow creme is also known as marshmallow fluff and can be found at your local grocery store. You can use 3 heaping tbsp of mini marshmallow in each layer instead
