Silky mint chocolate fudge, so easy to make you’ll wonder why you haven’t yet!
I have been waiting and waiting ALL week to share this one with you!
TGIF — Thank Goodness it’s FRIDAY!
It’s not JUST any ‘ol Friday though, today is FREAKY FRIDAY! Freaky Friday is a blog hop that me and a few of my very favorite foodie friends started early this year. We secretly cook/bake from one another’s blogs and reveal all of the recipes on the same day. Typically, there are no rules on what we can make. Anything goes! This month, however, we were to choose a recipe that would be perfect for holiday trays. We all selected a cookie or a candy from our assigned blog and NOW I get to tell you (and HER) who I had!
My Mint Fudge I am sharing with you came from my buddy, Christine’s page, perfectly named Christine It! The name of her blog came from her oldest of three children, when he told her she never makes a recipe the way it’s written, she always puts her own twist on it. She “Christine’s it up!” Christine shares uncomplicated recipes for cooking and baking. Sounds good to me! I actually made TWO of her recipes. The other were her Butter Cookies. Problem was, I had a houseful that day and they “can I have just one”-d me into a plate half eaten. I stuck what was left in the freezer to add to my holiday trays next week. The very first cookie that I planned to make, and still will at some point, were her 50/50 Peanut Butter Cookies – half of the cookie is a chocolate cookie with peanut butter chips and the other half is a peanut butter cookie with chocolate chips. ALL of me says YES please! In the end I made her recipe for Mint Fudge, and I was delighted that I did. Thanks for having such great recipes, Christine! Snooping through your blog this month was so much fun!

I love fudge and this looks super yummy!

Chocolate and mint are my favorite flavor combination. I love this recipe. In fact, I’m drinking a peppermint mocha right now!
This is such a great recipe! I will have to see if I can find these chips around here so I can make a batch!
This fudge has everything! One of the most delicious flavor combinations, simple, and quick!! I am all over this!
This recipe looks wonderful. Does it really taste like mint not peppermint. My husband is trying to find a recipe desperately. Let me know asap please. Thank you.
The mint is not overpowering at all. Very mellow. The chips have both mint and dark chocolate — I think he would like it!

He wants major mint flavor would it hurt to put some mint extract in it.
Taste it after you melt it together. If you want more mint stir the extract in when you remove it from the heat. 🙂
I can’t wait to try this, Michaela! Mint and fudge together sounds wonderful!
