36 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk not evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon mint extract
- Green food coloring optional
Instructions
Prepare the Pan:
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with foil, allowing the edges to overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
Melt the Chocolate:
- In two separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips. Use 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval to avoid overheating. Most of the melting will occur through stirring.
Incorporate Sweetened Condensed Milk:
- Divide the sweetened condensed milk evenly between the two bowls of melted chocolate. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Add Flavor and Color:
- To the bowl with melted milk chocolate, add the mint extract and stir until well blended. In the bowl with melted white chocolate, add a few drops of green food coloring and mix until the color is evenly distributed.
Layer and Swirl:
- Spoon dollops of each mixture into the prepared pan, alternating between the two. Once all the mixture is in the pan, use a butter knife to gently swirl the colors together for a marbled effect.
Set the Fudge:
- Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow the fudge to chill overnight or for at least 8 hours until fully set.
Cut and Serve:
- Once set, remove the fudge from the pan by lifting the foil edges. Trim any uneven edges if desired, then cut the fudge into 36 even pieces. Serve and enjoy.
