Calories: 373kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups sweetened condensed milk divided
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups mint chocolate chips I used Guittard
- A few drops of green gel food coloring optional
- gold confetti sprinkles
- gold sanding sugar
Instructions
- Butter an 8x8 inch pan or line with parchment paper.
- In a large glass bowl, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk; stir.
- Microwave for 1 minute; stir. Continue microwaving in 10 second intervals, stirring each time, until the chips are completely melted (mixture will be thick). Stir in the vanilla and mix well.
- Pour the chocolate fudge into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Use a pressing motion with the back of a metal spoon if it’s too thick to spread.
- Mix the remaining ½ cup of sweetened condensed milk with the mint chocolate chips in a medium glass bowl. Microwave 1 minute; stir. Microwave in 10 second intervals, stirring well. Heat until all chips are melted. If you’d like the green from the mint chocolate chips to be a little darker, add a few drops of green food coloring and stir well.
- Pour the mint mixture over the chocolate layer; spread evenly. Once again, it’s best to use the pressing motion with the back of a metal spoon (spray a bit of cooking spray on the spoon if it's sticking).
- Decorate with gold confetti sprinkles and sanding sugar.
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until set. Cut into 16 squares and serve.
