These incredible melt-in-your-mouth candies have the perfect amount of mint nestled between layers of mild chocolate. Even when I make a double batch for everyone to enjoy, the supply never lasts long at Christmas! Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter |
1-1/2 pounds white candy coating, coarsely chopped, divided |
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
1 teaspoon peppermint extract |
4 drops green food coloring, optional |
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream |
Directions:
1. Line a 13-in. x 9-in. pan with foil. Grease the foil with 1 tablespoon butter; set aside.
2. In a microwave, melt 1 pound candy coating and chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Spread half into prepared pan; set remaining mixture aside.
3. Melt remaining candy coating; stir in extract and food coloring if desired. Stir in cream until smooth (mixture will be stiff). Spread over first layer; refrigerate for 10 minutes or until firm.
4. Warm reserved chocolate mixture if necessary; spread over mint layer. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
5. Lift out of the pan with foil and remove the foil. Cut into 1-in. squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield: about 2 pounds (about 9-1/2 dozen).
