Ingredients
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon butter + extra for buttering the dish
- 1 pound dark chocolate chips or chunks
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup Andes Peppermint Chunks
Instructions
- Grease a 8x8-inch or 8x11-inch baking dish. Sprinkle half the peppermint chunks in the bottom of the dish and set aside.
- Place a medium saucepan over medium heat with 2 inches of water. Place a glass bowl over the top—making sure the glass doesn't touch the water.
- Pour the condensed milk and butter in the bowl and heat.
- Add the chocolate chips and salt in the bowl. Stir the chocolate and watch as it melts and thickens—about 5 minutes.
- The mixture should thicken to a THICK cake batter consistency--almost too thick to pour.
- Add both extracts and mix well.
- Pour the mixture into the dish. Gently tap the dish on the counter for at least a minute to allow air bubbles to rise to the surface and to smooth the surface.
- Sprinkle the remaining peppermint chips over the top and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, maybe longer, to set.
- To cut, dip a sharp knife in hot tap water, wipe and cut quickly. Dip and wipe the knife between cuts. Cut into 1-inch squares.
