CHOCOLATE MINT CANDY (FUDGE)
I love this recipe because it is so easy to make and yet it always gets 'oohs' when people see the candies and 'aahs' when they taste them! I've gotten several z-mails asking about the candy coating. They are wafers that you melt to then dip candies into to coat them. They are usually sold in the candy section of craft or baking stores. I've seen them in the candy making section of Wal-Mart also. If you look at the ingredients photo on Recipe #104941, you'll see a photo of them. They are a different 'stiffness' than white chocolate chips but some reviews have successfully used those when they can't find the candy coating. Hope that helps!

- On low heat place the milk chocolate (broken into pieces) and butter in a small-medium bowl over a pot of water (make sure bowl does not touch the water). Melt until smooth, stirring often with a fork or whisk. Remove from heat, let cool down (10-15 minutes), and coat the chocolate molds swirling it around (I used a pastry brush to fill in the empty spots) and then tip it over to empty out the excess chocolate (I let it drain for approximately 15-20 minutes over a cookie rack, this chocolate can be used for the topping), place the mold in the freezer for approximately 10 minutes, remove and fill any empty spots with some more melted chocolate. This time refrigerate while making the Chocolate Filling.
- On low heat place the milk chocolate (broken into pieces), cream and butter in a small-medium bowl over a pot of water (make sure bowl does not touch the water).

- Melt the white chocolate and green candy melts together. Use a double boiler or microwave. If using microwave, stir the chocolate every 20 seconds to help avoid seizing. Once melted and smooth, stir in oil and peppermint extract. Set aside.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in the same manner you melted the chocolate in step 2. Pour onto prepared baking sheet and spread out into a large rectangle. Drizzle the white chocolate mixture on top in lines. See photo above for a visual. Use a toothpick or knife to swirl the layers together. Sprinkle the top of the bark with Andes mints, if using.
- Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature in a cool, dry environment. My swirled barks usually take around 45 minutes. If needed, you can stick it in the refrigerator to help speed things up. Once hardened, break into pieces as large or as small as you want.
