I gave this 2 stars because my children were willing to eat it. However, I thought the mint taste was way too strong. Adding condensed milk to the semisweet chips cheapened the taste and the texture of the chocolate. If I try this again, I won't add so much condensed milk to the chocolate, and I'll add a teaspoon of peppermint extract instead of a tablespoon.

I just did two layers, it didn't look the same but the taste was delish. I though it was easy enough. It was my first time making fudge and I thought it was easy enough.

I agree with another reviewer who said this isn't fudge, it's melted chocolate. I made these for a Christmas party, along with some other fudges, and these were by far the hardest to make. I didn't feel like the recipe allowed for enough of the mint layering, as I was struggling to make it spread across the bottom layer. Then all the layers very uneven. It just didn't look as good as my other fudges. The people at the party said they liked it because I had said I was very disappointed with it, but at the end of the party, the majority was still left. Also, I've had requests to make the other fudges there for various other parties, but no one has menioned this one.

Like many before me, I made one substitution and switched out the confectioner's coating for white chocolate chips and 2T canola oil. Results were amazing: great presentation, simple recipe, and delicious taste.

Very good, but a bit too minty. Next time I would cut the mint extract in half.

Wow, was this fudge good! I made it for Christmas and everyone LOVED it! If you are a chocolate mint lover, make these and you'll be in heaven! Super simple, hard to screw up recipe. This was my first try at making fudge and I sure wish the other recipes were as simple as this one. Not to mention ridiculously good! As other users suggested, I made the chocolate layers seperately. I also used white chocolate chips for the mint part because I couldn't find the coating stuff. I used a square 8 inch pan and it turned out perfect. This may be the trick to the receipe, as others have said that theres turned out more candy like. Mine was perfectly thick and fudge like. Definitely reminded me of the Mint Meltaways at Fannie Mae as others have said. Love the two tone fudge! Thank you for sharing!

this was horrible. i suppose if i read the recipe before trying it i would have realized that this isnt even fudge, its melted chocolate. you dont use marshmallow or get it to the soft ball stage or any of the good fudgemaking techniques. its just melted chocolate with mint thrown in and when it cools, its not even anything like fudge.

I thought this was quite yummy. I followed others' advice and made the chocolate in 2 batches for the top and the bottom layers. It worked out well! It's not true fudge, it's "fudge-like candy" but a heck of alot easier to make than true fudge. Oh, it turned out that I was out of green food coloring, so I shook a bunch of green sugar sprinkles into the white chocolate layer while it was still in the pot - they melted and turned the whole thing green. Just a tip!

This tastes so much like an Andes candy, which I love. All I can say is - Wonderful!! Excellent!! Made them in 3 layers, just like the recipe says. I just reheated the reserved chocolate for the final layer to make it spreadable. A super quick, easy "cheater" fudge (since it's made with sweetened condensed milk and doesn't have to be boiled) that tastes like you slaved over it. Love this recipe! Everybody that's tasted it raves over it. A definite keeper!!!!!

very! very! good!You can keep the chocolate warm by warming up a bigger pot with water, and put your chocolate pot inside the bigger pot when you are not using your chocolate and it will keep the chocolate from firming up.You can also use a candy pot which is a double pot for melting chocolate.

delicious... we used icing sugar though cuz we couldn't find the confectioner's coating, but it still tasted great! We doubled the amount of mint used, and it realli brought out the minty taste. A tip: smoothing out the melted choco chips with a wooden spoon will actually make the surface rougher, its better if the chocolate chips are melted more into a liquidy substance and let it fill the pan by itself. Family members and friends alike all enjoyed it! The absolute best recipe that I ever used! X)

This was so good. I'm a huge mint and chocolate fan. I did it a little different, though. I used mini muffin cups and my pastry bag to make little individual layered candies. I also used white chocolate chips instead of the confectioner's coating. And I melted all of this in the microwave instead of on the stove. Turned out great and I'll definitely be making again.

I prepared this fudge as a gift for coworkers this year, and it was well received by everyone. The fudge is very sweet and rich, so I cut it into very small pieces (about 1" square). To wrap, I stacked the squares three high and bundled up in cellophane for a pretty presentation.

Really good fudge, tastes just like andes mints, which I love. I took the suggestion and only made 2 layers. Next time, for presentation sake, I'll make the 2 chocolate layers separately, and do all 3 layers.

I made a glaring error when I made this fudge: I used confectioner's sugar instead of confectioner's coating. Oops! However, I'm happy I made that mistake because the mint layer turned out gooey and soft, like a truffle filling. I think I prefer it that way! I love mint, so I'll definitely make this again. I might try the confectioner's coating this time though...

Everyone loves this recipe. Last time my 8-yr old made it almost entirely by himself. We like to used different colored "chocolate" for the middle layer instead of food coloring.
