Grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan and line with parchment paper, overlapping the sides of the pan for easy removal of fudge. Set aside.
Prepare the dark chocolate peppermint layer. In a large heatproof bowl, combine chocolate, butter, and evaporated milk. Fill a saucepan with water, about ¼ full and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and bring water to a simmer. Place the bowl on top of the saucepan and mix until chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat. Add sugar, peppermint extract, and salt. Mix with a wooden spoon until smooth and well combined.
Spread fudge into prepared pan. Smooth the top. Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the second layer.
Prepare the white chocolate peppermint layer. In a large heatproof bowl, combine white chocolate and butter. Fill a saucepan with water, about ¼ full and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and bring water to a simmer. Place the bowl on top of the saucepan and mix until chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat. Add sugar, peppermint extract, and salt. Mix with a wooden spoon until smooth and well combined. Spread on top of the dark chocolate layer. Sprinkle with crushed peppermint candy.
Place fudge in the refrigerator and allow resting for 2 hours. Remove from the refrigerator and allow resting for 1 hour at room temperature.
Remove fudge from the pan by lifting out the parchment paper. Cut into 64 even pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
