Instructions

Prepare the Pan: Line a loaf pan or an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment or wax paper, leaving an overhang on the sides so the fudge can be easily lifted out once set.
Melt the Base: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and the sweetened condensed milk. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted, ensuring no lumps remain.
Add Flavor and Color: Stir in the peppermint extract, vanilla extract, and if desired, a few drops of green food coloring to achieve a festive color. Mix well to incorporate all flavors evenly throughout the fudge base.
Mix in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips into the fudge mixture, distributing them evenly without breaking the chips.
Transfer and Set: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly to all edges. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the fudge is firm and set completely.
Slice and Serve: Once the fudge is fully chilled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the pan. Cut the fudge into approximately 24 squares and serve or store chilled for later enjoyment.

Notes

Use good quality white chocolate chips for best flavor and smooth melting.
Microwave in short bursts to avoid burning the chocolate.
Mint extract can be substituted with peppermint extract or omitted if a milder flavor is desired.
Green food coloring is optional and intended to give a festive look but does not affect taste.
This fudge should be stored in the refrigerator to maintain firmness and freshness.
For a firmer texture, you can chill the fudge overnight.
