Ingredients

Units Scale

Fudge Base

  • 3 1/4 cups white chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2-3 teaspoons mint extract (not peppermint)
  • green food coloring (to desired color)

Chocolate Chips

  • 3/4 cups mini chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Line an 8×8 inch square pan with foil and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and butter. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then let it rest for 1 minute. Stir to check if the mixture is smooth; if needed, microwave for an additional 30-45 seconds until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Mix Ingredients: Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and 2 to 3 teaspoons of mint extract to the melted chocolate mixture. Add green food coloring gradually until the desired minty shade is achieved. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Allow the mixture to cool slightly for a few minutes, then fold in 1/2 cup of the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the fudge.
  5. Fill the Pan: Press the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips on top, gently pressing them into the surface so they stick.
  6. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the fudge for a minimum of 2 hours or until it is fully set and firm enough to cut.
  7. Serve and Store: Once set, lift the fudge from the pan using the foil, cut into squares, and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Use mint extract instead of peppermint extract for the authentic flavor of mint chocolate chip fudge.
  • Adjust the food coloring to achieve your preferred shade of green.
  • Ensure the fudge mixture is cooled a bit before folding in chocolate chips to prevent melting.
  • Store fudge in the refrigerator for best freshness, can last up to 1 week.
  • For a firmer fudge, extend refrigeration time beyond 2 hours.
