Ingredients

Chocolate Layer

  • 1/2 can sweetened condensed milk (7 oz.)
  • 1 12 oz. bag semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 1 cup chocolate mint cookies 20 cookies (chopped), divided

Green Mint Layer

  • 1 12 oz. bag white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 can sweetened condensed milk (7 oz.)
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 4-5 drops green food coloring

Instructions

  • Line a 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper (or butter the dish to prevent fudge from sticking).

Chocolate Layer

  • Heat semisweet chocolate chips, butter, and sweetened condensed milk in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth and chocolate chips have melted completely.
  • Stir in 1/2 of the chopped chocolate cookies.
  • Spread fudge mixture in baking dish with a rubber spatula.

Green Mint Layer

  • Heat white chocolate chips, butter, and sweetened condensed milk in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth and white chocolate chips have melted completely.
    Stir in food coloring and peppermint extract.
  • Spread green mint fudge mixture in a baking dish on top of the chocolate layer with a rubber spatula.
    Note: This layer will be thinner and easier to spread than the chocolate cookie layer.
  • Cover with remaining chopped cookies. Gently press cookies against the fudge (with the back of a spoon).
  • Refrigerate fudge until cooled and set, about an hour.
  • Remove fudge from dish (lift parchment paper) and slice fudge into 36 pieces with a sharp knife.

Notes

How to microwave 5-minute fudge: you can make fudge in the microwave instead of using the stove. Heat chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring, until smooth and creamy. Stir in sweetened condensed milk.
How to store 5-minute fudge: Fudge can be stored on the counter in an airtight container for at least 7 days. It's never lasted longer than that in our home (we eat it too fast!).
Mint Extracts
Peppermint extract OR mint extract can be used in this recipe. I prefer the flavor of peppermint extract.
