Ingredients For Making Andes Mint Fudge
2 cups
semisweet chocolate chips,
divided
1 can (14-ounces)
sweetened condensed milk,
divided
8 oz.
white baking chocolate
(or 1-1/2 cups white chocolate chips)
1-1/2 tsp.
peppermint extract
(
we like the
Watkins peppermint extract
from Walmart--it's cheaper and has a better flavor)
2 drops
green food coloring
1 tsp.
shortening
(like Crisco)
1/2 cup
Andes mint chips
(or regular Andes mints chopped up)
Directions
Line a square 8x8 or 9x9-inch baking pan with tinfoil or parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick spray.
In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk with 1
cup chocolate chips. Heat over medium-low heat. Stirring frequently,
heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth.
Spread the chocolate mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared pan.
Place the pan in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes
while you prepare the next layer.
Grab a second small
saucepan and combine 8 oz. white chocolate (either white baking chocolate or
1-1/2 cups white chocolate chips) along with the rest of the sweetened condensed milk.
As with the first layer, heat over medium-low heat, stirring
frequently, until the mixture is melted and smooth. Then add 1-1/2 tsp.
peppermint extract and 2
drops of green food coloring.
Add additional food coloring drop-by-drop until the desired color has
been reached, then gently pour the green/minty layer over the set
chocolate layer, taking care to keep the layers separate.
Place pan in the refrigerator until set (about 10 minutes). Meanwhile,
in a microwaveable bowl combine the remaining cup of chocolate chips
and the teaspoon of shortening.
Microwave, stopping it every thirty
seconds to stir, until smooth and melted (about 2 minutes). Pour the
melted chocolate over the mint layer, spreading it carefully. Before
chocolate is set, sprinkle the Andes mint chips over the top, lightly
pressing them down as you go.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours. Allow to sit at room
temperature for about 20 minutes before cutting and serving. Store
covered in the fridge or freezer.
Enjoy!
