Ingredients

• 3 cups white chocolate chips
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
• 1 cup Andes Mint baking chips or chopped Andes Mint candies
• ½ cup mini chocolate chips
• Pinch of salt

Optional Toppings

• Chopped Andes Mint candies
• Chocolate drizzle
• Green sprinkles
• Crushed peppermint candies
• Mini chocolate chips

Equipment

• 8×8-inch baking pan
• Parchment paper
• Medium saucepan
• Heatproof mixing bowl
• Rubber spatula
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Sharp knife

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pan

Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving extra paper hanging over the sides for easy lifting.

Lightly grease the parchment if desired.

Step 2: Melt the Fudge Base

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, butter, white chocolate chips, and salt.

Stir continuously until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Remove the saucepan from the heat.

Step 3: Add the Flavorings

Stir in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract until fully combined.

Allow the mixture to cool for about 2 minutes so the chocolate chips won’t melt completely in the next step.

Step 4: Fold in the Mix-Ins

Gently fold in the Andes Mint baking chips and mini chocolate chips.

Reserve a small handful of Andes Mint pieces for decorating the top.

Step 5: Layer the Chocolate

Pour half of the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave using 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

Drizzle or spread the melted chocolate over the first layer.

Top with the remaining fudge mixture and gently smooth the surface.

Use a butter knife or skewer to lightly swirl the chocolate into the fudge for a marbled effect.

Step 6: Decorate

Sprinkle the reserved Andes Mint pieces, mini chocolate chips, and any optional toppings evenly over the surface.

Lightly press them into the fudge so they stick.

Step 7: Chill

Refrigerate for 2 hours, or until the fudge is completely firm.

Step 8: Slice and Serve

Lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper.

Place it on a cutting board and cut into bite-sized squares using a sharp knife.

Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Tips

• Use high-quality chocolate for the creamiest texture.
• Stir constantly while melting to prevent scorching.
• Don’t overheat the chocolate, as it may become grainy.
• Allow the fudge to cool slightly before adding the chocolate chips to help them keep their shape.
• Chill completely before slicing for neat, clean squares.
• Wipe the knife clean between cuts for professional-looking pieces.
