Chocolate Mint Fudge

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk, divided
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 6 ounces white candy coating
  • 3 teaspoons peppermint extract
  • 3 drops green food coloring

In a heavy saucepan, melt the chocolate chips with 1 cup milk. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Spread half into a waxed paper-lined 8-inch square pan and allow to cool for 10 minutes (or until firm).

Meanwhile over low heat, cook and stir the candy coating with the remaining milk until the coating is melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the peppermint extract and the food coloring. Spread over the bottom layer and chill for 10 minutes (or until firm).

Warm the remaining chocolate mixture if necessary and spread it over the mint layer.

Chill for 2 hours (or until firm), remove from the pan and cut into 1-inch squares.
