- 14 oz (396 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp mint extract
- Green food coloring
Instructions
- Preparation: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with aluminum foil, ensuring excess hangs over edges for easy removal.
- Chocolate Melting: Carefully melt dark and white chocolate in separate microwave-safe bowls, stirring every 30 seconds to prevent burning.
- Flavor Fusion: Divide condensed milk between chocolate varieties, incorporating mint extract into dark chocolate and green food coloring into white chocolate mixture.
- Layering Technique: Pour alternating chocolate mixtures into prepared pan, creating a marbled design by gently tapping to remove air bubbles.
- Swirling Pattern: Use a clean butter knife to delicately intertwine chocolate layers, creating subtle interconnected designs without fully blending colors.

- Finishing Touches: Remove fudge from pan using foil edges, trim uneven borders, and slice into 36 small, uniform pieces.
- Storage: Preserve fudge in an airtight container to maintain its creamy consistency and vibrant mint-chocolate flavor profile.
Notes
- Chocolate Melting Mastery: Use 50% power in microwave and stir frequently to prevent burning and ensure smooth, glossy chocolate.
- Color Blending Trick: Add food coloring gradually to white chocolate for precise emerald shade without compromising mixture texture.
- Swirling Strategy: Use light, gentle knife movements when creating marble effect to maintain distinct chocolate layer boundaries.
