Ingredients
  

For the Fudge Base
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips Consider using milk chocolate chips for a creamier fudge.
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk No substitutions recommended.
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter Using salted butter can add a delightful flavor twist.
  • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract Avoid mint extract to preserve the intended flavor.
  • 1 cup chopped Andes Mints Crushed candy canes offer a festive alternative.
  • 1 pinch salt Balances out the sweetness.

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil, ensuring it hangs over the edges for easy removal later.
  2. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt. Heat over low-medium heat while stirring constantly until the mixture is fully melted and smooth, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in peppermint extract and chopped Andes mints, mixing thoroughly until evenly distributed.
  4. Carefully pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly. Smooth the top to create a beautiful surface.
  5. Sprinkle additional chopped Andes mints or crushed candy canes on top before it sets. Press them lightly into the surface.
  6. Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow the fudge to chill for at least 2 hours or until fully firm.
  7. Once the fudge has set, remove it from the pan using the parchment paper or foil overhang, slice it into squares, and serve.
