Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Mixtures
- 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
Additional Ingredients
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk)
- 1 teaspoon mint extract
- Green food coloring (to tint white chocolate)
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8-inch pan with foil leaving the foil extending over the edges to make removing the fudge easier later.
- Melt the chocolates: In separate bowls, melt the milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips in the microwave according to package instructions. Stir well every 30 seconds to ensure smoothness and avoid overheating, usually melting in under a minute.
- Mix with condensed milk: Divide the sweetened condensed milk evenly and add half to the melted milk chocolate bowl and half to the melted white chocolate bowl, stirring each until fully combined.
- Add flavor and color: Stir the mint extract into the milk chocolate mixture. Add green food coloring to the white chocolate mixture until the desired minty shade is achieved, mixing thoroughly.
- Combine and swirl: Spoon the two chocolate mixtures alternately into the prepared pan. Gently shake the pan to level the fudge. Using a butter knife, swirl through the mixtures lightly to create a marbled effect.
- Chill and cut: Refrigerate the fudge overnight until firm. Lift the fudge from the pan using the foil edges, trim off the rough edges for a clean appearance, then cut the fudge into 36 pieces by first slicing it into four large sections and then cutting each large piece into nine smaller squares.
Notes
- Be careful not to overheat the chocolate during melting to prevent burning or seizing.
- Use sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk, for the correct texture and sweetness.
- Allow the fudge to chill fully overnight for the best firmness and sliceability.
- Stirring the chocolate frequently during melting ensures an even, smooth consistency.
- Green food coloring can be adjusted to achieve the desired mint color intensity.
