Default peppermint fudge? one with no chocolate

Hi,

I've got one recipe which uses white chocolate which I loath.

Anyone got one without white chocolate, almond bark, or vanilla bark
(all much the same).

I found this but the mixing in cold water seems like excessive work:
Peppermint Fudge

1 1/2 cups crushed peppermint candies
1 cup marshmallow creme
4 cups sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
1/3 cup light corn syrup
6 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon salt

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup crushed peppermint candies and
marshmallow. Cook over medium heat until smooth, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat. Butter the sides of a large heavy saucepan or dutch
oven. Add sugar, milk, corn syrup, butter, honey, and salt. Cook over
medium heat until sugar dissolves, stirring constantly. Using a pastry
brush dipped in hot water, wash down any sugar crystals on sides of pan.
Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Using a candy
thermometer, cook syrup until it reaches soft ball stage: 234°F to
240°F. To test, drop a small amount of fudge in ice water. Syrup should
easily form a ball in the water, but flatten out when held in your hand.
Stir in marshmallow mixture. Fill your kitchen sink with 2 inches of
cold water. Place saucepan in the sink and cool to approximately 120°F.
Using an electric mixer at medium speed, beat fudge until thickened and
no longer glossy. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies.
Pour into a buttered 8 x 11 inch baking pan. Cool completely and cut
into 1-inch squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

I don't know if there are any "easy" recipes without the ingredients
you loathe, but it seems you did find one without them, so either do the
work or don't.

Regards,

Save yourself the annoyance of crushing peppermint candy.
Just get a little bottle of mint oil for the fudge flavoring.
It only needs a few drops.

I make potato candy with mint oil on holidays. Yummy.
