Chocolate Mint Candy (Fudge)
By: Marg (CaymanDesigns)

I love this recipe because it is so easy to make and yet it always gets 'oohs' when people see the candies and 'aahs' when they taste them! I've gotten several z-mails asking about the candy coating. They are wafers that you melt to then dip candies into to coat them. They are usually sold in the candy section of craft or baking stores. I've seen them in the candy making section of Wal-Mart also. If you look at the ingredients photo on Easy (But Elegant) Chocolate Candy, you'll see a photo of them. They are a different 'stiffness' than white chocolate chips but some reviews have successfully used those when they can't find the candy coating. Hope that helps!

Good way to get my mint fix! I've made this twice now. The first time it turned out perfectly. The second time I accidentally put in the entire can of condensed milk into the chocolate mix. I ended up having to use part of a second can for the mint layer. The chocolate was a little gooey, but still delicious. Excellent recipe!

What a great combination! I love making treats for the holidays and taking it the teachers. So I made this fudge, with the "green" center for St. Patrick's Day and put it in candy bags for the teachers! They absolutely loved it. One even told me that they are really not crazy about mint - but wanted this recipe. Great job!

These are so delicious! I love simple recipes that pay back more in taste and presentation than the amount of labor put into them. I used the microwave to do the melting and also added a bit of shortening before I rewarmed the last layer of chocolate to make sure it would be thin enough to spread nicely. Thanks, Marg, for sharing this recipe!

These are SO GOOD I cannot describe them! Kind of like Andes Mints, but thicker. I used white chocolate instead of the coating, and it worked extremely well. I also did all of my melting in the microwave on about 20% heat, which made it come out a little thick, but it did not affect the taste and texture after chilling. I also left out the food coloring, just because I forgot to add it. Thanks for the wonderful recipe! I will, without a doubt, be making this again! Probably for Christmas!
