CHOCOLATE SWIRLED PEPPERMINT FUDGE

Steps:

• Line 8 x 8-inch baking pan with foil, extending foil over edges of pan. Sprinkle 1/3 cup thin mints evenly in prepared pan. Combine sweetened condensed milk, white baking chips, butter and salt in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH 2 minutes or until melted and smooth when stirred.
• Spoon half of fudge mixture into prepared pan. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup thin mints. Top with remaining fudge mixture. Sprinkle evenly with remaining thin mints. Swirl with tip of knife to blend colors. Chill 1 hour or until set.
• Remove fudge from pan by lifting edges of foil. Remove foil. Cut into small squares.

MINT CHOCOLATE FUDGE SWIRL

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine milk chocolate bar pieces,Ande's Mint Chips, 4 Tbsp. butter, and half of the marshmallow whip. Set aside.
• In a separate large mixing bowl, combine white chocolate bar pieces, white chocolate chips, 4 Tbsp. butter and remaining marshmallow whip. Set aside.
• Note: If you are wanting to make the swirls green (as pictured), add some green GEL food coloring (NOT water-based) to the white chocolate bowl.
• In a LARGE saucepan (it will boil up high), combine sugar, evaporated milk and creme de menthe. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat. Stir CONSTANTLY for 4 MINUTES.
• Pour about a cup of cooked mixture into each bowl of chocolate at a time, stirring as constantly as you can for each bowl (you might want a helper for this part). Try to divide the cooked mixture between the two bowls as evenly as you can.
• Stir each bowl until all chocolate is melted and smooth.
• Pour about 1/3 of each type of fudge at a time into a greased 9x13 glass baking dish.
• Using a knife, swirl the two types of fudge together to make a pretty, swirled design.
• Cover tightly and refrigerate until hardened (several hours or overnight).
• Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

MINT CHOCOLATE FUDGE

Steps:

• Line an 8x8 pan with foil so that it is sticking out over the edges.
• Seperately, and following the instructions on the bag, melt the chocolate in the microwave. A lot of the melting will occur from stirring the chocolate, stir very well after every 30 second interval, and be careful not to over heat the chocolate. It will likely be melted after less than a minute.
• Add half of the sweetened condensed milk to one bowl of melted chocolate and half to the other.
• Add the mint extract to the chocolate bowl, and add the green food coloring to the white chips. Stir until fully combined.
• Remove both pans from the heat and add a few spoonfuls at a time of each one to the pan. Continue adding randomly until both sauce pans are empty. Shake the 8x8 pan a little to make it even. Very gently run a butter knife a few times through to give it a swirled effect.
• Refrigerate overnight. Pull the foil (with the fudge) out of the pan and away from the fudge. Cut off the rough edges (just a very small amount to make a clean edge). Then cut the block of fudge into four large pieces. Cut each fourth into 9 pieces for a total of 36 pieces of fudge. Serve or store in an airtight container.

MINT CHOCOLATE FUDGE (AKA CHRISTMAS FUDGE)

Steps:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup + 2 teaspoons milk and 1 1/2 - 2 teaspoons peppermint extract. Then add 1 teaspoon coconut oil and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
• Microwave on high for approximately 1 minute 20 seconds to 1 minute 30 seconds (the exact timing can vary slightly depending on the power and wattage of your microwave).
• Stir until completely smooth and well-incorporated. (Do not microwave again; use the residual heat to continue melting all chips completely. Refer to photos in post above, if needed.)
• Pour the mixture into an ungreased 8x8" pan (or to make the entire block easier to remove, you can line the pan with foil that's been lightly coated with cooking spray). Smooth the top and tap or gently shake the pan to level the mixture.
• For the optional swirl (if using, measure and mix this at the same time you measure and mix the semi-sweet fudge layer, so it's ready to microwave as soon as you're done with the base layer, before the base layer begins to set up and thicken): Combine 1 teaspoon milk, 3-4 drops peppermint extract, and food coloring (if using) in a small bowl. Add white chocolate chips and microwave for about 15 seconds, then stir until smooth. Quickly spoon the mixture into the corner of a sandwich-sized zipper bag and snip off a small piece of the corner. Drizzle onto the chocolate fudge base layer in one direction, and then run a toothpick shallowly through, in the opposite direction (refer to photos in post).
• Refrigerate fudge until solid before cutting.

LAYERED MINT CHOCOLATE FUDGE

Steps:

• In heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt chocolate chips with 1 cup sweetened condensed milk; add vanilla. Spread half the mixture into wax-paper-lined 8- or 9-inch square pan; chill 10 minutes or until firm. Hold remaining chocolate mixture at room temperature.
• In heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt white confectioners coating with remaining sweetened condensed milk (mixture will be thick). Add peppermint extract and food coloring (optional).
• Spread on chilled chocolate layer; chill 10 minutes longer or until firm.
• Spread reserved chocolate mixture on mint layer. Chill 2 hours or until firm. Turn onto cutting board; peel off paper and cut into squares. Store leftovers covered in refrigerator.

CHOCOLATE-MINT SWIRL CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Grease and flour 12-cup fluted tube cake pan, or spray with baking spray with flour. In small bowl, beat cream cheese with electric mixer on high speed until smooth and fluffy. Beat in granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, 1 egg, 1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract and 3 drops food color until smooth; set aside.
• In large bowl, beat cake mix, 1/3 cup flour, 1 cup water, the butter and 2 eggs on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes. Pour into pan. Spoon cream cheese filling over batter.
• Bake 44 to 52 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes. Turn pan upside down onto cooling rack or heatproof plate; remove pan. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• In 1-quart saucepan, heat chocolate chips and shortening over low heat, stirring frequently, until melted; set aside. For glaze, mix powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract, 1 to 2 drops food color, the corn syrup and enough of the 3 to 4 teaspoons water to make a thick glaze that can be easily drizzled. Drizzle over cake. Immediately spoon melted chocolate over glaze in 1/2-inch-wide ring. Working quickly, pull toothpick through chocolate to make swirls. Refrigerate until serving time. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.
