Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk, divided
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon mint extract
- 4 drops green food coloring
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, for greasing
Instructions
Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with unsalted butter and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and half of the can of sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and fully melted.
Stir in the vanilla extract and mix well. Quickly pour this chocolate mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Set aside to cool slightly while preparing the mint layer.
In another medium, microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and the remaining half of the sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and fully melted.
Stir in the mint extract and green food coloring until evenly combined. Adjust the food coloring if a deeper green hue is desired.
Carefully pour the mint layer over the cooled chocolate layer and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 squares and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
