"Chocolate fudge is layered with white or colored mint fudge in this lovely holiday candy."

This fudge tastes just like the Andes mints, but more rich and decadent.

Click Me to see the original fudge recipe. I rate this fudge 4.5/5 stars. It was AMAZING! Read below to make it! It is a great fudge for friends, neighbors, family gifts during this holiday season. Enjoy!

 

Prep time: 20 min. Total time: 2 hrs. 20 min.

Makes approx. 64 1-inch squares

What you'll need:

 

-2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

-1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk, divided.

-2 teaspoons vanilla extract.

-6 oz white confectioners coating (I used white chocolate chips, and worked just fine. You can also use white chocolate/vanilla flavored almond bark.)

-1 tablespoon pure peppermint extract

-Green or red food coloring (You'll only need this ingredient if you want your middle layer to look minty green)

 

Directions:

1. In heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt chocolate chips with 1 cup sweetened condensed milk; add vanilla. Spread half the mixture into wax-paper-lined 8- or 9-inch square pan; chill 10 minutes or until firm. Hold remaining chocolate mixture at room temperature.
2. In heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt white confectioners coating with remaining sweetened condensed milk (mixture will be thick). Add peppermint extract and food coloring (optional).
3. Spread on chilled chocolate layer; chill 10 minutes longer or until firm.
4. Spread reserved chocolate mixture on mint layer. Chill 2 hours or until firm. Turn onto cutting board; peel off paper and cut into squares. Store leftovers covered in refrigerator.

Give this as a gift...and you'll have 'em asking for more! It's delicious!
