Ingredients

Servings: 24 pieces

• 3 cups (about 18 oz / 510 g) semisweet chocolate chips, divided
• 2 cans (14 oz / 396 g each) sweetened condensed milk, divided
• 2 teaspoons peppermint extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan

Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving extra foil hanging over the sides to create handles. Smooth the corners lightly so the fudge sets evenly.

2. Make the Chocolate Layer

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine:

• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk

Stir constantly with a spatula until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth, thick, and glossy.

Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly into the corners. Tap the pan gently on the counter to level the surface. Set aside.

3. Make the Mint Layer

Clean the saucepan, then add the second can of sweetened condensed milk. Heat over low until warm and pourable.

Remove from heat and stir in:

• 2 teaspoons peppermint extract

Add the remaining 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips and stir gently. Mix until mostly melted but still swirled and marbled for a beautiful finish.

4. Assemble the Fudge

Carefully pour the mint mixture over the chocolate base layer. Spread evenly with a spatula.

Use a butter knife or spatula tip to create gentle swirls across the top for a marbled effect.

5. Chill

Refrigerate uncovered for 2 to 3 hours, or until firm.

For easier slicing, let the fudge sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before cutting.

6. Slice and Serve

Use the foil handles to lift the fudge out of the pan. Peel away the foil and cut into 24 small squares using a sharp knife.

Wipe the knife between cuts for neat, clean edges.

Conclusion

Mint Chocolate Fudge is the perfect combination of decadent chocolate and cool peppermint freshness. It’s simple to make, requires just a few ingredients, and looks impressive enough for any dessert table. Keep it chilled and enjoy these creamy little squares whenever you need a sweet holiday-style treat.
