Description
A rich, festive layered mint chocolate fudge featuring smooth chocolate, a refreshing mint center, and a beautifully layered presentation perfect for holidays.
Ingredients
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk, divided
2 tsp vanilla extract
6 oz white confectioners coating or premium white chocolate chips
1 tbsp peppermint extract
1 drop green or red food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 cup of the sweetened condensed milk in a heavy saucepan over low heat until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Spread half of this chocolate mixture into a wax-paper-lined 8- or 9-inch square pan. Chill for about 10 minutes. Keep the remaining chocolate mixture at room temperature.
- In another saucepan, melt the white confectioners coating (or white chocolate chips) with the remaining sweetened condensed milk over low heat until thick and smooth.
- Stir in the peppermint extract and optional food coloring.
- Spread the mint layer over the chilled chocolate layer and chill for another 10 minutes or until firm.
- Spread the reserved chocolate mixture over the mint layer.
- Chill the entire pan for about 2 hours or until fully set.
- Once firm, invert onto a cutting board, peel off the wax paper, and cut into squares. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator.
Notes
Create a swirl effect by lightly mixing the food coloring into the mint layer.
Use dark or milk chocolate chips for flavor variations.
Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies on top before chilling for a festive touch.
Try almond extract instead of peppermint for a different flavor profile.
Double the recipe easily by using a larger pan or two smaller pans.
