Ingredients
Sweetened Condensed Milk
You will need one can of sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces). This ingredient serves as the base for your fudge, providing richness and sweetness that helps bind all the other ingredients together.
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Use two cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips. They melt beautifully and create a smooth texture that complements the mint flavor perfectly.
Unsalted Butter
One stick of unsalted butter (1/2 cup) is necessary for this recipe. The butter adds creaminess and enhances the overall flavor of the fudge while preventing it from becoming too hard once cooled.
Peppermint Extract
Add one teaspoon of peppermint extract to bring that signature minty flavor. It’s important not to overdo it; too much can overpower the other flavors in the fudge.
Green Food Coloring
A few drops of green food coloring are needed to achieve that classic shamrock color. This step is optional but adds a fun visual appeal for your festive presentation.
Powdered Sugar
Finally, you will require about three cups of powdered sugar for sweetness and texture. It helps thicken the fudge while keeping it soft and chewy.
