Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
There are many things that go great together: peanut butter and jelly, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, a cold winter night and a nice cup of hot cocoa. And I think you can put chocolate and mint on that list.
Today is National Chocolate Mint Day. After the jump is a recipe for something called Chocolate Mint Fudge Candy. If you're not one to make something like that, you can also buy some Chocolate Mint Fudge from Fudge-House.com or these awesome-looking Chocolate Mint Brownies from Solomon's (pictured above).
Chocolate Mint Fudge Candy
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (12 ounces)
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, divided
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 ounces white candy coating (see note above)
2-3 teaspoons peppermint extract
3 drops green food coloring
In a heavy saucepan, melt chocolate chips with 1 cup milk.
Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla.
Spread half into a waxed paper-lined 8-in. square pan; (I personally prefer to line the pan with foil and grease the foil with butter) chill for 10 minutes or until firm.
Meanwhile, in a heavy saucepan over low heat, cook and stir candy coating with remaining milk until coating is melted and mixture is smooth.
Stir in peppermint extract and food coloring. Spread over bottom layer; chill for 10 minutes or until firm. Warm remaining chocolate mixture if necessary; spread over mint layer.
Chill for 2 hours or until firm. Remove from pan; cut into 1-in. squares.
