Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 can (397g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) crème de menthe liqueur
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup (40g) crushed peppermint candies (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (40g) chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Line the baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until melted and smooth, or gently melt the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water.
  3. Remove melted chocolate from heat and stir in sweetened condensed milk, crème de menthe, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.
  4. Gently fold in crushed peppermint or nuts if you like that extra crunch.
  5. Transfer the chocolate mixture to the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
  6. Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the overhanging parchment. Cut into squares and serve.
