👨🍳 Directions:
Step 1: Line the pan
1. Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
Step 2: Make the chocolate layer
1. In a saucepan over low heat, melt semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
2. Stir continuously until smooth and glossy.
3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
4. Pour the chocolate fudge layer into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
5. Chill in the fridge while preparing the mint layer (about 15–20 minutes).
Step 3: Make the mint layer
1. In a clean saucepan over low heat, melt white chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk.
2. Stir until smooth, then add mint extract and a few drops of green gel food coloring.
3. Pour the mint layer over the chilled chocolate layer and spread evenly.
Step 4: Finish and chill
1. Optional: Top with crushed mint candies or a drizzle of melted chocolate for extra flair.
2. Refrigerate the entire fudge for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm.
Step 5: Slice and serve
1. Once set, lift the fudge from the pan and cut into small squares with a sharp knife.
2. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

💡Tips:
- Use gel food coloring for a vivid green without watering down the fudge.
- For a layered swirl effect, gently swirl the mint and chocolate layers together before chilling.
- Don’t skip the chilling between layers — it helps create clean separation.
