Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions

FUDGE LAYER – The fudge layer is only 3 ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Do not confuse sweetened condensed milk with evaporated milk, you will end up with an entirely different texture/flavor. Be very careful not to scorch the chocolate in the microwave. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between each session.

MINT LAYER – The mint fudge layer is made with white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter with the addition of peppermint extract and green food coloring. You do not have to use food coloring if you prefer not to, but that’s how you’ll achieve the classic green color associated with Andes mints. Again, be very careful not to scorch the chocolate in the microwave!

Stir to ensure all the chocolate mixture is melted and smooth, and pour into the prepared pan, and smooth with a spoon. Place in the freezer for a few minutes to set.
Combine white baking chips, the remaining half of the sweetened condensed milk, and 2 tablespoons of butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring each time, until melted. It should take less than 2 minutes. Do not overcook.
Stir to ensure all the white chocolate mixture is melted, then add peppermint extract and green food coloring. Stir until smooth, and pour over the chocolate layer, and smooth. Place in the freezer for a few minutes to set.
Melt the remaining 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of butter in the microwave by heating in 20-second bursts and stirring, and repeating until completely melted and smooth.
Spread over refrigerated layers. Sprinkle chopped Andes mints candies over the top.
Cover the fudge with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 2 hours.
Lift the fudge from the baking dish by pulling up the parchment paper. Place on a cutting board and cut into squares of desired size. Serve at room temperature. Enjoy!
