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.
FABULOUS MINT FUDGE WE MADE LAST NIGHT!
My husband went to the Andes mints website and found this recipe. It is so easy and after letting it sit overnight - we couldn't wait to try it this am- it just melts in your mouth! So, good - now I'm going to make their cookies - you put the mint candy in the middle of each ball of dough. Oh, I couldn't find the Andes baking chips at Albertson's yesterday so I bought the box of candies - yummy! My 8 and 9 year old helped make this - here is the website with a copy of the recipes: http://www.totsie.com/recipes.html I'm sorry - I'm going to have to guess on the servings as it made a lot

Tips:
- Prepare your ingredients in advance: Chop the nuts, measure the sugar and cocoa powder, and line the pan with parchment paper before you start cooking. This will help you avoid scrambling when the fudge is cooking.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help distribute heat evenly and prevent the fudge from burning.
- Stir the fudge constantly: This will help prevent the sugar from crystallizing and ensure that the fudge is smooth and creamy.
- Don't overcook the fudge: Cook it only until it reaches the desired consistency. Overcooked fudge will be hard and crumbly.
- Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it: This will help it set properly and prevent it from crumbling.
