Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 teaspoons mint extract
- 3 drops green food coloring
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and mint extract.
Stir the mixture over low heat until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the green food coloring until evenly incorporated.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into a parchment-lined 8x8-inch pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Place the pan into the refrigerator and chill for 45 minutes, or until the mixture is firm.
While the mint layer chills, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
Remove the mint layer from the refrigerator and pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate over it, spreading evenly to coat.
Refrigerate the pan for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate layer is set.
Once fully cooled and firm, remove the dessert from the pan by lifting the parchment paper. Cut into small squares or rectangles.
Dust the tops lightly with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Store the mint meltaways in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
