3-4 lbs (approx.)
ingredients
- 24 ounces milk chocolate chips
- 2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon peppermint extract
- 1 tablespoon almond extract
- green food coloring
- red food coloring
directions
- Chocolate Mint Fudge: Line an 8x8 inch pan with wax paper.
- I tape it in to make it easier.
- In a medium bowl combine 12 oz of milk chocolate chips, 2/3 can (approx 10 oz) of sweetened condensed milk, and 2 tsp vanilla extract.
- Microwave 45 seconds to 1 minute at a time, stirring in between heating.
- Continue until smooth.
- Spread ½ of the mixture evenly across the bottom of the pan.
- Reserved other ½ of mixture.
- Chill 10-15 minutes.
- In a small bowl combine white chocolate chips, remaining 4 oz sweetened condensed milk from can#1, peppermint extract, and green food coloring to taste.
- Microwave 45 seconds to 1 minute at a time, stirring in between heating.
- Continue until smooth.
- Spread the mixture evenly across the first chocolate layer.
- Chill 10-15 minutes.
- Reheat reserved chocolate mixture.
- Spread the mixture evenly across the mint layer.
- Chill for an hour.
- Remove from pan and cut into squares.
- Chocolate Almond (actually tastes more like chocolate cherry) Fudge: Repeat same steps as above but use almond extract and red food coloring.
- Tips: Serve together on a platter for a nice display of Christmas colored desserts!
- Refrigerate separately so that the mint does not overpower the other fudge.
- I always use Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk.
- It costs about twice as much but I've often been disappointed with the consistency of cheaper brands.
