Description

This Mint Chocolate Fudge is a rich, creamy, and smooth treat combining the classic flavors of semi-sweet chocolate and refreshing peppermint extract. Perfect for chocolate lovers seeking a cool minty twist, this fudge is easy to prepare on the stovetop and sets quickly in the refrigerator for a delightful homemade dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Ingredients

  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (18 ounces)
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure peppermint extract
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper or foil, and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the fudge once set.
  2. Melt Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Stir continuously to prevent burning, until the mixture is fully melted, smooth, and creamy. Avoid boiling by keeping the heat low. This process typically takes 5 to 10 minutes depending on your stove and pot.
  3. Add Flavors: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the peppermint and vanilla extracts thoroughly to infuse the fudge with minty and aromatic flavors.
  4. Pour and Set: Pour the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pan, spreading it smooth with a spatula. Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely set and firm.
  5. Cut and Store: Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper or foil edges. Peel away the lining and cut the fudge into squares. Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Use high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture.
  • Keep the heat low while melting to prevent scorching or boiling, which could ruin the texture of the fudge.
  • Make sure the fudge is fully set in the refrigerator before cutting to ensure clean slices.
  • The fudge can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks in an airtight container.
