Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Base

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

Flavoring

  • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1 cup chopped Andes Mints

Optional Toppings

  • Extra Andes Mints
  • Crushed candy canes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, ensuring there is an overhang on the sides for easy removal of the fudge once set.
  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 encourage even melting until the mixture is fully smooth and melted.
  3. Add Flavor: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the peppermint extract along with the chopped Andes Mints. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the mint flavor and chocolate pieces.
  4. Transfer to Pan: Pour the smooth fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
  5. Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle extra Andes Mints or crushed candy canes on top for added texture and decoration.
  6. Chill to Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm enough to slice cleanly.
  7. Slice and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment or foil edges, slice into squares, and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Store the fudge in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  • For longer storage, freeze the fudge wrapped tightly for up to 3 months.
  • Use peppermint extract rather than mint extract to achieve the best flavor balance without overpowering the chocolate.
