Chocolate Andes Mint Fudge is an easy, delicious, no candy thermometer needed, recipe!
Ingredients
2 cups granulated sugar
¾ cup heavy whipping cream
¾ cup unsalted butter
pinch of kosher salt
1 bag (10 ounce) andes creme de menthe baking chips
7 ounces marshmallow cream
MIX-INS AND TOPPINGS:
1 cup andes creme de menthe baking chips
½ cup milk chocolate chips, melted
sprinkles
Instructions
Line a 9-inch square dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add 1 bag Andes baking chips and marshmallow cream. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, combine sugar, butter, salt and cream. Heat over medium high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to boil. Continue boiling for 3-4 minutes (at a rolling boil). Remove from heat. Pour over Andes chips and marshmallow cream.
Using an electric mixer, beat mixture until baking chips are melted and fudge is creamy (about 1-2 minutes). Very gently, fold in extra 1 cup Andes baking chips. You want to stir as little as possible so they don’t completely melt.
Pour into prepared pan. Allow fudge to set at room temperature for 4 hours.
For the garnish, drizzle melted chocolate over the fudge and add sprinkles. Cut and serve!
Notes
Storage- Store the Andes Mint Fudge at room temperature in an airtight container. It will stay good for up to a week. You could also freeze the fudge in an air tight container for up to 60 days.
Why didn't my fudge set up? If your fudge did not set up properly, you may not have boiled the liquid ingredients long enough. Make sure to bring the butter, cream and sugar to a full ROLLING boil and keep it boiling for 3 to 4 minutes.
Can I use salted butter instead? Yes, you can use salted butter if that's what you have on hand. Just don't add any additional salt to the recipe.
