Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk divded
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 6 drop green food coloring plus more as needed
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch x 8-inch square pan with parchment paper. Leave the sides long so they hand over the edge. This will make for easy removal later. Set aside. (I like to hold the paper in place with binder clips.)
- Place the milk chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Pour in half of the sweetened condensed milk and stir. The mixture will thicken and have a soft dough consistency. Reheat in 15-second intervals and then stir as needed until the chocolate is completely melted. Set aside.
- Place the white chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Pour in the peppermint extract, food coloring, and the remaining half of the sweetened condensed milk and stir. The mixture will thicken and have a runny-ish dough consistency.
- Using half of the chocolate mixture, add dollops of fudge to the prepared pan. Set the rest of the fudge aside.
- Add dollops of the mint fudge around the dollops of chocolate fudge in the pan. Repeat with the remaining fudge mixtures. To help get the fudge all the way into the corners, spray your hand with non-stick cooking spray. Then, gently press the fudge flat and into the corners.
- Use a butter knife to swirl the layers together - first up and down the pan, then turn it 90 degrees and repeat. (I did 3 passes total. Any more than that will start to mix the fudge rather than swirl it.) Place the pan in the fridge and chill for 3 hours until set.
- Use the parchment paper "wings" to lift the fudge block from the pan. Cut the fudge into 25 squares (5x5 grid). Store in an airtight container.
