Ingredients

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup white chocolate chips
Green food coloring (optional)
1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies or chocolate mint candies for topping

Instructions

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Melt Chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until melted and smooth.
Add Flavor: Remove from heat and stir in peppermint extract and salt. Pour half of the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
Make Mint Layer: In a separate bowl, melt white chocolate chips in the microwave or over a double boiler. Once melted, mix in peppermint extract, salt, and a few drops of green food coloring if desired. Pour this mixture over the first layer in the pan.
Top with Chocolate: Pour the remaining semi-sweet chocolate mixture over the mint layer, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies on top.
Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set. Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into squares.
