📋 Ingredients:

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 🍫
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk 🥛
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract 🌿
  • Green food coloring (optional) 🌿
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips (optional for drizzling) 🍫
  • 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies or mint candies (optional) 🍬

📝 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fudge Mixture:

  1. Melt chocolate:
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Heat over medium-low, stirring constantly until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  1. Add vanilla and peppermint extracts:
  • Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract. Add a few drops of green food coloring if you want a minty green hue to the fudge. Stir until everything is well combined.

2. Pour and Set the Fudge:

  1. Pour into the pan:
  • Line an 8×8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
  1. Chill:
  • Place the dish in the refrigerator and let the fudge set for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.

3. Optional Toppings:

  1. Melt white chocolate (optional):
  • If you want to add a decorative drizzle, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  1. Drizzle and sprinkle:
  • Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the chilled fudge and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies or mint candies if desired.

4. Cut and Serve:

  1. Cut into squares:
  • Once the fudge has fully set, remove it from the pan using the parchment paper, and cut it into small squares.
  1. Serve:
  • Enjoy your Mint Chocolate Fudge as a decadent treat or package it up as a gift!
