Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup + 2 teaspoons evaporated fat free milk (NOT sweetened condensed milk)
1 1/2 - 2 teaspoons pure peppermint extract (not mint or spearmint) (see note)
1 teaspoon coconut oil
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon evaporated fat free milk
3-4 drops pure peppermint extract
1 drop green food coloring (optional)
2 tablespoons white chocolate chips (we use Nestlé)

Steps:

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup + 2 teaspoons milk and 1 1/2 - 2 teaspoons peppermint extract. Then add 1 teaspoon coconut oil and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • Microwave on high for approximately 1 minute 20 seconds to 1 minute 30 seconds (the exact timing can vary slightly depending on the power and wattage of your microwave).
  • Stir until completely smooth and well-incorporated. (Do not microwave again; use the residual heat to continue melting all chips completely. Refer to photos in post above, if needed.)
  • Pour the mixture into an ungreased 8x8" pan (or to make the entire block easier to remove, you can line the pan with foil that's been lightly coated with cooking spray). Smooth the top and tap or gently shake the pan to level the mixture.
  • For the optional swirl (if using, measure and mix this at the same time you measure and mix the semi-sweet fudge layer, so it's ready to microwave as soon as you're done with the base layer, before the base layer begins to set up and thicken): Combine 1 teaspoon milk, 3-4 drops peppermint extract, and food coloring (if using) in a small bowl. Add white chocolate chips and microwave for about 15 seconds, then stir until smooth. Quickly spoon the mixture into the corner of a sandwich-sized zipper bag and snip off a small piece of the corner. Drizzle onto the chocolate fudge base layer in one direction, and then run a toothpick shallowly through, in the opposite direction (refer to photos in post).
  • Refrigerate fudge until solid before cutting.
