Description
This Marbled Chocolate Mint Fudge is just as delicious as it is pretty! It’s an easy microwave fudge recipe with a yummy green marbled mint layer!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (175g) dark chocolate buttons
- 1 cup (175g) milk chocolate buttons
- 1 cup (175g) white chocolate buttons
- 1 can (400g) sweetened condensed milk*
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon of peppermint extract
- 1/2 a teaspoon of green food colouring
Instructions
- Line the bottom and sides of an 8 inch (20 cm) square baking tin with non-stick baking paper, leaving some overhang at the sides.
- Place the dark and milk chocolate buttons in a microwave safe container and add just slightly less than 1 cup of the sweetened condensed milk.
- Place the white chocolate buttons into another microwave safe container and add the remaining sweetened condensed milk.
- You need to work as quickly as you can from this point onwards because the fudge will start to set quite fast.
- Microwave the milk and dark buttons on high for 30 seconds and then stir.
- While you are checking the milk/dark chocolate mix, microwave the white chocolate buttons on high for 30 seconds and then stir.
- Continue microwaving the two mixtures in 30 second bursts – stirring one while microwaving the other.
- Once both chocolate mixtures are completely melted and smooth add the vanilla extract to the milk/dark chocolate portion and stir well.
- Now add the peppermint extract and green food colouring to the white chocolate mixture and again stir well.
- Pour all but about 2 -3 tablespoons of the milk/dark chocolate fudge into the prepared tin and spread evenly.
- Pour the green peppermint fudge on top and use a butter knife to spread it evenly over the milk/dark chocolate fudge.
- Dot the reserved milk/dark chocolate fudge around the top of the mint fudge and then run a butter knife through the surface of the fudge to create the marble effect.
- Place the fudge in the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours or until firm. Use the overhanging baking paper to lift the fudge out of the tin and cut into squares.
- Leftover fudge can be stored in the refrigerator or placed in the freezer.
Notes
* I used skim sweetened condensed milk.
