Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips (use good quality)
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon mint extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Green food coloring (natural or artificial), amount as needed for desired color
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking, making it easier to remove the fudge once set.
  2. Melt Butter and Sweetened Condensed Milk: In a medium saucepan over low heat, gently melt the butter with the sweetened condensed milk, stirring constantly to avoid burning. This forms the creamy base of your fudge.
  3. Add White Chocolate Chips: Gradually add the white chocolate chips to the warm mixture, stirring continuously until completely melted and smooth, keeping the heat low to maintain texture.
  4. Mix in Flavorings and Color: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the mint extract, vanilla extract, green food coloring, and a pinch of salt until the color is even and the flavors are well distributed.
  5. Pour Into Pan and Chill: Pour the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pan and spread with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
  6. Cut and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge from the pan using parchment paper and cut into small squares or use shamrock-shaped cookie cutters for a festive look.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate chips for best flavor and texture.
  • Add food coloring gradually to achieve the perfect green shade without overpowering.
  • Stir continuously while melting to keep the mixture smooth and prevent burning.
  • If fudge seems too soft after chilling, freeze briefly to firm it up.
  • Bring butter and condensed milk to room temperature before melting to ensure even consistency.
  • Use a sharp knife warmed in hot water for clean cuts.
