I remember when my first kid was just 6 months old and I put him in a bouncer chair on the floor by me in the kitchen and we “baked” and “danced” to Christmas music. He was obviously too little to really participate, but for me it was a dream come true. Christmas baking and dancing with my own kiddo! I still love that tradition and now my boys are actually able to participate. Anyway, I have lots of Christmas treats to share. Today I am sharing a Chocolate Mint Fudge recipe:
The bottom layer is chocolate, the top layer is mint and it’s sprinkled with mini chips. It’s amazing!
I took this to all of my neighbors last year and it was a hit!
Let’s get cooking!
By the way-I’ve also go Peanut Butter Fudge on the blog and Coconut is coming soon!
Chocolate Mint Fudge Recipe:
This will fit in an 8 x 8 inch pan. I like to double both layers and do it in a 9 x 13 inch pan. It will fill that pan entirely too the top-it’s a lot of fudge! So you make the choice of what works for you!
Ingredients:
For the chocolate bottom layer:
- 2 C Sugar
- 11 large marshmallows
- 3/4 can of evaporated milk
- 1 pkg. milk chocolate chips (just a regular size)
- 1 stick butter
Combine the sugar, marshmallows and milk in a large pan. Heat it and bring it to a soft boil. Boil (soft boil) for 6 minutes. *Be careful here. It likes to spit while it boils and I have a nasty burn on my arm to prove it. Wear long sleeves, use your biggest pan, just be careful!
Turn off the heat. Add chocolate chips and butter and stir until completely combined.
Pour into well greased 8 x 8 inch pan.
Place in refrigerator for several hours until completely set. Then proceed to mint layer.
Mint Layer:
Ingredients:
- 2 C Sugar
- 11 large marshmallows
- 3/4 can of evaporated milk
- 1 pkg. white chocolate chips (just a regular size) I really recommend Guittard brand-they melt the best
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- green food coloring
- 1 stick butter
- Mini chocolate chips
Cook the same way that you did for your bottom layer. Add you peppermint extract and food coloring when you are adding the chips and butter. Use as much or as little green food coloring as you want to make it pretty.
Pour on top of your bottom layer and let it sit for 10-15 minutes till it is slightly cooled but not set, then sprinkle with mini chips and put in fridge.
It can also be frozen.
Slice and enjoy! Your neighbors and friends are going to love you if you share this!

Oh my Amber! This looks so good. I totally pinned because this is something I can eat. Totally making this this week!
This looks amazing! Shame I’m supposed to be eating healthy…ah well, it’s nearly Christmas ;)
Perfect timing on this one!! I’m staying home with the kids all day and I like to do some sort of cooking/baking project with them. I think we’ll try this one.
Oh anything with mint is perfect with me! Thanks for sharing!!
To clarify: by “regular size” do you mean a 12 or 24 ounce bag? Grocery stores here sell both, and my “regular” is the 24 because it’s cheaper per ounce.
12
I love all things mint… especially at Christmas time!
Hi, I could not resist to cook them for Xmas. Unfortunately,it turned out so soft, I could not cut it in cubes, even out of the freezer. I was wondering if the quantity of the evaporated milk could be part of the solution. When you say 3/4 can of evaporated milk, what is the quantity exactly. I live in Canada and our cans might contain a different quantity. I don’t want to throw them away (it is so delicious), I was wondering what I could do now. If you have any idea, please let me know. Thank you very much!
Guylaine, glad you posted – must mean small can which we have in Canada but not always available.
