Instructions:
-
In a heavy saucepan, commence the chocolatey journey by melting 1 cup of chocolate chips with 1 cup of milk over low heat until a smooth, velvety consistency is achieved.
-
Once melted to perfection, elevate the chocolatey experience by stirring in the aromatic essence of vanilla, infusing the mixture with a heavenly scent that will leave your kitchen smelling like a chocolatier’s paradise.
-
Lay the foundation for your fudge masterpiece by spreading half of this luscious chocolate concoction into an 8-inch square pan lined with waxed paper. (A pro-tip: I personally prefer lining the pan with foil and greasing it with butter for easy removal.)
-
Allow this chocolate layer to chill for approximately 10 minutes or until it attains a firm and delectable texture that forms the canvas for the layers to come.
-
Meanwhile, embark on the candy coating adventure in another heavy saucepan over low heat. Stir the vibrant candy coating wafers with the remaining milk until the coating melts seamlessly into a smooth, mesmerizing blend.
-
Elevate the festive spirit by introducing the invigorating peppermint extract and a few drops of green food coloring to the candy coating mixture. Stir passionately until the vibrant green hue infuses every inch of the mixture.
-
Spread this minty enchantment over the chocolate canvas in the pan, creating a harmonious marriage of chocolate and mint flavors. Chill for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the layers to meld into a symphony of taste and texture.
-
The grand finale awaits as you warm the remaining chocolate mixture if necessary, then generously spread it over the minty layer, completing the trinity of chocolate, mint, and more chocolate.
-
Exercise patience as you let your creation chill in the refrigerator for a glorious 2 hours or until it reaches the pinnacle of firmness, ensuring each bite delivers the perfect balance of creaminess and decadence.
-
With the masterpiece now solidified, liberate it from the pan and embark on the satisfying task of cutting it into 1-inch squares, each a testament to your culinary prowess.
-
Present your Chocolate Mint Candy Fudge to your eager audience and brace yourself for the ‘oohs’ of admiration as they feast their eyes on the visually stunning layers, followed by the ‘aahs’ of delight as they savor the irresistible combination of chocolate and mint in each delectable square.
