Ingredients

3 cups semisweet chocolate chips use good quality chocolate
1 ½ cups sweetened condensed milk divided
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups mint chocolate chips I used Guittard
A few drops of green gel food coloring optional
Gold confetti sprinkles
Gold sanding sugar

Instructions

Butter an 8×8-inch square pan or line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk; stir.
Microwave in 30-second intervals; stir. Continue microwaving in 10 second intervals, stirring each time, until the chips are completely melted (mixture will be thick). Melt chocolate chips just until melted.
Stir the vanilla into the melted chocolate and mix well.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Mix the remaining ½ cup of sweetened condensed milk with the mint chocolate chips in a medium glass bowl.
Microwave 1 minute; stir. Microwave in 10 second intervals, stirring well. Heat until all chips are melted.
Add a few drops of green food coloring too the chocolate mixture to darken the green color.
Pour the mint mixture over the chocolate layer; spread evenly.
Decorate the top of the fudge with gold confetti sprinkles and sanding sugar.
Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until set, any longer will make your rich fudge difficult to cut through.
Cut the fudge into 16 small squares and serve.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. It can also be left out at room temperature for up to 1 week, which is recommended. Refrigerating the fudge can make it last longer, but can also dry it out.
