Mint Fudge

I love chocolate and mint together, so I had to try this recipe. I found it at www.tasteofhome.com. It is so yummy.


2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips 
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk, divided (or 1 batch of homemade  Sweetened Condensed Milk)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract 
1 cup white baking chips 
2-3 teaspoons peppermint extract 
1 to 2 drops green food coloring

Directions

• Line a 9-in. square pan with foil; grease the foil with nonstick cooking spray, set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, melt chocolate chips and 1 cup milk over low heat; cook and stir for 5-6 minutes or until smooth. Remove from the heat. Add vanilla; stir for 3-4 minutes or until creamy. Spread half of the mixture into prepared pan. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until firm. Set remaining chocolate mixture aside.
• In a another heavy saucepan, melt vanilla chips and remaining milk over low heat; cook and stir for 5-6 minutes or until smooth (mixture will be thick). Remove from the heat. Add peppermint extract and food coloring; stir for 3-4 minutes or until creamy. Spread evenly over chocolate layer. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until firm. (I used 2 cups of vanilla chips and 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk and 2 tsp of peppermint extract).
• Heat reserved chocolate mixture over low heat until mixture achieves spreading consistency; spread over mint layer. Cover and refrigerate overnight or until firm.
• Using foil, lift fudge out of pan. Gently peel off foil; cut fudge into 1-in. squares. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 1-3/4 pounds.
