Description

This Mint Fudge recipe is a creamy, delightful treat combining the sweetness of white chocolate with refreshing peppermint flavor. Perfect for holiday gatherings or anytime you crave a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth fudge with a hint of mint and festive green color. The fudge is easy to make with simple ingredients and sets up in the refrigerator for a no-bake, satisfying dessert.


Ingredients

Fudge Base

  • 2 ½ cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract (or mint extract)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Green food coloring (optional)

Mix-ins

  • ½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line a loaf pan or an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment or wax paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal of the fudge later.
  2. Melt the Base: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval until the mixture is completely smooth and melted without any lumps.
  3. Add Flavor and Color: Stir in the peppermint extract, vanilla extract, and green food coloring (if using) until the mixture is evenly colored and the flavors are fully incorporated.
  4. Mix in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the fudge base without melting them.
  5. Transfer and Set: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm and set.
  6. Slice and Serve: Once the fudge is fully set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment or wax paper overhang. Cut into small squares and serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Use green food coloring sparingly to achieve a festive light green color.
  • Be careful not to overheat the white chocolate in the microwave to prevent scorching.
  • For a stronger mint flavor, adjust peppermint extract quantity to your preference.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Allow fudge to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for a softer texture.
