Mint Chocolate Chip Fudge is easy to make, but you will need to pay close attention to the temperatures of your mixture. You want to make sure that your fudge mixture has cooled to room temperature before adding your mini chocolate chips. Heat will cause your mini chocolate chips to melt. Freezing your mini chocolate chips will also help them not to melt as you add them.
This Mint Chocolate Chip Fudge recipe calls for mini chocolate chips. The mini part is important as regular-sized chocolate chips overcrowd the fudge. Feel free to substitute mini semi-sweet chocolate chips with mini dark chocolate chips, or Andes Baking Chips.
A helpful tip to cut your Mint Chocolate Chip Fudge after chilling is to score a grid on top of your fudge before you put it in the refrigerator. Then use an extra sharp knife that you’ve dipped in water between slices to create clean cuts as you serve this delightful dessert.
HOW TO MAKE MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP FUDGE
FIRST STEP: Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
SECOND STEP: Place mini chocolate chips in the freezer to chill while preparing other ingredients.
THIRD STEP: Place the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl.
FOURTH STEP: Heat mixture, 30 seconds at a time, stirring between each interval. Heat for a total of 1½ minutes.
FIFTH STEP: Stir until the chocolate is completely melted.
SIXTH STEP: Stir in extracts and food coloring. Stir until the color is uniform.
SEVENTH STEP: Set fudge mixture aside, stirring every 5 minutes, until room temperature. The mixture may begin to crust over the top as it cools but will stir back into a smooth mixture. Cool until you can no longer feel any warmth whatsoever in the fudge, about 20 minutes.
EIGHTH STEP: When the fudge mixture is cool, quickly fold in most of the semi-sweet mini chocolate chips, reserving a couple of tablespoons to sprinkle over the top. Fold the mixture just enough to distribute the chocolate chips and then immediately pour it into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the reserved chips over the top.
NINTH STEP: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
TENTH STEP: Lift the fudge from the pan by the parchment paper. Cut into pieces and serve.
