Easy Chocolate Mint Fudge Recipe

I know we often think of candy making around the holidays. Rightly so, this is the type of indulgence we all love to have available for snacking in abundance during special occasions. I enjoy pulling a treat like this out throughout the year for my family to enjoy simply on it’s own, when there aren’t so many other distractions. The vibrant green color makes it as appropriate for St Patrick’s Day as it is for Christmas and New Year’s celebrations. How to make simple Chocolate Mint Fudge with marshmallow cream:

• Chocolate – 2 cups semi sweet or milk chocolate chips and 1 1/2 cup white chocolate chips.
• Milk – Sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk). 
• Marshmallows – One 7 ounce container marshmallow cream.
• Butter – salted butter.
• Flavorings – Mint extract.
• Green food coloring.

How to Make the Best Chocolate Mint Fudge Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Easy Chocolate Mint Fudge: Semi sweet or milk chocolate chips, butter, sweetened condensed milk, marshmallow cream, white chocolate chips, mint extract and green food coloring.
• You’ll be delighted to know that this fudge doesn’t require cooking to soft ball stage using a thermometer. That said, there’s still a need to work quickly, so gather your ingredients prior to beginning the process.
• You can line the pan with foil or parchment, whatever you have on hand. You still need to spritz with cooking spray or butter for easy release.
• I find that having both chocolate layers melting at the same time helps to expedite assembling. Keep in mind, the microwave will take less time than a double boiler so, adjust accordingly.
• If you don’t have a double boiler, use a tempered glass bowl over a pot of simmering water. Don’t let the water touch the bottom of the bowl.
• There’s no wrong amount of green food coloring for this fudge. Add in small drops and mixing until your desired color is reached.
• When mixing in the marshmallow cream to the melted semi sweet chocolate, do so over the double boiler to help it melt and mix into the chocolate smoothly.
• The nature of this fudge, gives you opportunity to lightly swirl the colors together and make a pretty pattern on top. Have fun, and let your creative side come to life.
• Store leftover chocolate mint fudge in an airtight container for up to one week either at room temperature or chilled.
• You can also freeze fudge for up to 2-3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator.
