Mint Chocolate Fudge Ingredients

Substitutions & Additions For Mint Fudge

MARSHMALLOW: You could swirl a little marshmallow creme into the fudge mixture.

TOPPINGS: Crumble crushed Oreos or Andes mints on top of the fudge once you add it to the pan for even more chocolate.

CHOCOLATE CHIPS: Use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate for added depth of flavor in this mint chocolate fudge recipe.

How To Make This Mint Chocolate Fudge Recipe

This simple fudge recipe only requires a few ingredients and minimal prep time for an easy dessert that everyone will love.

Here’s how you make our mint fudge recipe:

STEP ONE: Line an 8×8-inch square pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

STEP TWO: Place the white chocolate chips in a medium pan and melt over low heat until most of the chips are melted.

Remove from the heat and stir in half of the sweetened condensed milk and the teaspoon of mint.

STEP THREE: Add green food coloring to the white chips and stir until well-mixed and all chips are melted.

STEP FOUR: Place the milk chocolate chips in a separate pan and melt over low heat until most of the chips are melted.

Remove from the heat. Add the remaining sweetened condensed milk and stir until the rest of the chips are melted. 

STEP FIVE: Using a large spoon, randomly drop spoonfuls of white chips on the bottom of the pan.

Alternate with dropping spoonfuls of the milk chocolate chips.

When the bottom of the pan is filled, continue dropping spoonfuls all around the pan until all of the melted chip pans are empty.

Gently tap the pan on the counter to remove any air bubbles. 

STEP SIX: Working quickly, use a butter knife or wooden skewer and run the tip through the fudge mixture, making a swirling pattern.

STEP SEVEN: Once you are finished swirling, you can also use your hand or spatula to gently pat on the top of the fudge to make the top even.

Tap the pan on the counter again to remove air bubbles from the fudge.

STEP EIGHT: Chill fudge for three to four hours or overnight.

STEP NINE: Lift the fudge out of the pan using the foil edges to lift it out. Then remove the foil from the fudge. Cut into serving pieces.

Storing Chocolate Mint Fudge

Let’s talk about how to store it so you can enjoy its minty-chocolaty goodness to the fullest.

MAKE AHEAD: After preparing the fudge according to the recipe, let it cool completely at room temperature.

Once it’s set, tightly wrap it in plastic wrap or foil and place it in an airtight container. Stored in a cool, dry place, this fudge can be made up to two weeks in advance.

It’s a perfect make-ahead treat for holidays and gatherings.

IN THE FRIDGE: Some fudge you can leave sitting out at room temperature, and they will do okay.

This one, however, has to be kept refrigerated in an airtight container, or the mint part goes soft.

IN THE FREEZER: You can also freeze this delicious fudge for up to two months when stored properly in the freezer.

I would suggest wrapping it well and popping it into freezer-safe bags to prevent it from spoiling.
