Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure mint extract
- 4 drops green food coloring
- 1.5 cups white chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup crushed mint candies (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a medium saucepan, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, 7 ounces (half) of the sweetened condensed milk, and 1 tablespoon of butter. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Place the pan in the refrigerator to cool and firm up for about 10 minutes.
While the chocolate layer sets, clean the saucepan and add the white chocolate chips, remaining 7 ounces of sweetened condensed milk, remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, mint extract, and green food coloring. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and uniform in color.
Carefully pour the mint mixture over the chilled chocolate layer, spreading evenly with a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle crushed mint candies over the top of the fudge layer for added texture and flavor.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until completely firm.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into 16 squares or your desired serving size.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
