Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Base

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
  • Pinch of salt

Mix-ins

  • 1 cup chopped Andes Mints

Optional Toppings

  • Extra Andes Mints or crushed candy canes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil to prevent sticking and make it easier to remove the fudge later.
  2. Melt Ingredients: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt. Stir constantly to prevent burning and ensure a smooth melt.
  3. Stir Until Smooth: Continue stirring the mixture gently until all the ingredients have fully melted and the fudge base is smooth and glossy.
  4. Add Flavor and Mix-ins: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the peppermint extract and the chopped Andes Mints to fold them evenly throughout the fudge.
  5. Pour and Smooth: Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula for an even finish.
  6. Add Toppings: Sprinkle with additional Andes Mints or crushed candy canes if using for extra texture and festive flair.
  7. Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for about 2 hours, or until the fudge has set firm.
  8. Slice and Serve: Once firm, slice the fudge into 25 squares and serve as a delicious mint chocolate treat.

Notes

  • Store the fudge in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness.
  • Fudge can be frozen for up to 3 months if wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or foil.
  • Use peppermint extract rather than mint extract for the best authentic peppermint flavor.
