Print Recipe

These creamy mint chocolate chip fudge bites combine a refreshing hint of mint with rich white chocolate and mini semisweet chocolate chips for a quick, easy, and indulgent treat perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or any festive occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups (340 g) white chocolate chips
  • 4 tablespoons (56 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
  • 1 cup (170 g) mini semisweet chocolate chips
  • Green food coloring (optional, a few drops)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) square pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy lifting later. Set aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups (340 g) white chocolate chips and 4 tablespoons (56 g) softened unsalted butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler over simmering water. This step should take about 3-4 minutes total.
  3. Stir in 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk and 1 teaspoon pure peppermint extract into the melted chocolate mixture. Add a pinch of salt to balance sweetness. If using green food coloring, add a few drops now and stir until color is evenly distributed.
  4. Gently fold 1 cup (170 g) mini semisweet chocolate chips into the mixture. Be careful not to overmix; you want the chips distributed but the mixture still smooth and creamy.
  5. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
  6. Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) squares or bite-sized pieces.
  7. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

Heat white chocolate gently to avoid seizing. Use softened butter for smooth texture. Fold chocolate chips gently to maintain creamy texture. Chill fudge for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results. Use parchment paper for easy removal. For dairy-free version, substitute coconut condensed milk and dairy-free white chocolate chips. Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
