Description
Silky, rich, and infused with a refreshing peppermint twist, this Mint Chocolate Fudge is the ultimate easy treat for holidays or anytime chocolate cravings hit. No thermometer needed—just melt, swirl, and chill!
Ingredients
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Green food coloring (optional, for swirl)
Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
2. In a saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter until smooth.
3. Remove from heat and stir in peppermint extract, vanilla, and salt.
4. For a swirl effect, reserve a few spoonfuls of fudge and tint with green food coloring.
5. Spread the main mixture into the pan, dollop the green mixture on top, and swirl with a knife.
6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm. Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate for the smoothest texture.
Don’t skip the parchment—makes removal a breeze.
Swirl quickly before the fudge starts to firm up.
