Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 to 6 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
Topping
- 1/2 cup Andes mints, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a 4 x 6 inch casserole dish with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang for easy removal later, and set it aside.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring thoroughly between each interval until fully melted and smooth.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Quickly stir in the sweetened condensed milk to the melted chocolate. Adjust the amount between 4 to 6 tablespoons depending on your preferred fudge texture: more for sweeter and fudgier, less for a creamier consistency.
- Spread the Mixture: Pour and evenly spread the fudge mixture into the prepared parchment-lined dish, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
- Add Andes Mints Topping: Sprinkle the chopped Andes mints evenly over the top of the fudge to add a refreshing mint flavor and a bit of crunch.
- Chill to Set: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight to allow the fudge to firm up.
- Slice and Serve: Once set, use the parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan. Slice into 1-inch squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk to control texture and sweetness.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean edges.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- For firmer fudge, refrigerate overnight.
