Christmas Colors - Quick & Dirty Microwave Fudge

"I like this combination of fudge because the green and red stripes help make a nice Christmas display. It's an adaptation from a cookbook featuring recipes made with Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk. Please note that I've fashioned the recipe to yield 1 batch of chocolate mint fudge and 1 batch of chocolate almond (tastes like chocolate cherry) fudge."

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.
