Andes Mint Chocolate Chip Fudge






This delicious Ande Mint Chocolate Fudge has been a tradition in my holiday baking for years. One word to describe is amazing. with an easy fudge base. In the middle is a layer combining melted white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract, and a drop of green food dye. Then the perfect sweet crunch of Ande mint chips and mini chips. Top it all off with a coating of pure melted chocolate. Simply melt chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk together. Pour into a pan and that's it. The bottom firms up great, and the center melts in your mouth. It is a slice of heaven.

  • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk, divided
