I will rate the fudge part 5 stars but I will say that I tried the Hershey's white chocolate chips to do the peppermint part, as some suggested, and it came out terrible...all greasy & wouldn't spread at all. Next time I will follow directions exactly as stated and use the candy coating.

I just made this, and not only does it look great, it tastes amazing! I m going to make an extra batch to take to my sisters for Christmas. I also used the white chocolate chips, but it all firmed up perfectly. Thanks for such a great recipe!

I made this in the first stage of my holiday baking. I admit that I am not a fan of fudge, but after trying it I know that my friends will love this. I used nestles white chips like others and it did "break" when I added the food coloring and peppermint oil, but after putting it back on the heat for a few more minutes it smoothed out. I found the first layer of the chocolate pretty hard to spread with just a spoon but I tried this for the top and recommend warming an off-set spatula then spraying it with a flavorless nonstick spray to make it easier. Thanks for sharing!

Very tasty, and everyone liked it despite my mess-up.
When adding in the condensed milk, I got a little confused. Weight wise, one cup was the entire can, right? Well, that's what my mind was thinking anyway. So when I doubled it, I put a can in the chocolate, and a can in the mint. It came out really tasty, but the center was less solid than I had hoped and it oozed out if not kept cold.
Used white chocolate chips in place of the candy coating and it tasted fine.
Thanks for the recipe!

Like many of the other users, I used white chocolate chips instead of candy coating. I was making them for Christmas so I doubled the white chocolate (12 ounces). The chocolate fudge was a little thicker than I expected, so I didn't separate it and only had 2 layers. To make it fit the season, I put crushed M&Ms on the tops. This was my first fudge and it turned out really well even though I didn't follow the recipe exactly. I will definitely make this again.

this was my first time making fudge - it tasted great. I melted in the microwave, but thought the mixture was a little thick to spread (the picture was much prettier than how mine turned out, but it did taste good and got compliments.

Fantastically easy fudge recipe, which was exactly what I was looking for. Got home from the store at 9pm and was able to whip this up in just about an hour, two batches with different flavors and it was my first time. My only caution is be careful with the peppermint extract. You can very easily overdo it. Mine smelled like a shot of Dr. MacGillicuddy's and I had to add more candy chips to tone it down. It's in the fridge setting now, but as another reviewer said, I can already tell it's going to be delicious from my sampling while cooking. Highly recommend!

so easy...and yummy. I used the green vanilla flavored candy wafers, so omitted the food coloring. I'll definitely be making these again. thanks

Excellent fudge!I used parchment paper in the bottom of the pan instead of foil.I always find that foil tears too easily.I used white chocolate chips instead of candy coating and it turned out perfectly.This is a very nice thick firm fudge.Great recipe!

Delicious! I only had 10 ounces of chocolate chips, so I added one square of chopped Bakers unsweetened chocolate. It made it even darker and richer, and I'll definitely make it that way again. Next time, I'll melt the chocolate using a double boiler, as I wasn't entirely happy with the consistency of the melted chocolate (although it looked fine once everything hardened).

WOW, I made 3 different flavors and two batches of each for holiday baskets. I did the mint, but I also tried orange and raspberry. DELICIOUS! I got so many compliments!! I didn't do the triple layer though. I just did the bottom - chocolate and the top - flavored. Oh and I did use the white morsels, couldn't find white candy coating.

This was a hit at a Christmas party! Thanks for the recipe. I read some comments and made the bottom and top layers seperately. I had the candy melts and mixed 1/2 green melts with 1/2 white melts and it was a very green. Had many at the party ask for the recipe. Thanks for an easy hit!

I used white chocolate chip, and they worked great, I wasn't sure they would thicken right so i added an extra ounce and it turned out great.
I also made it blue, and not green I jus thought it would be cute

Great recipe! Super fast and easy (I thought so anyways) and I only did it with 2 tsp of the peppermint extract and it's really good, but definitely will do the 3 next time! Thanks for this great recipe!! =)

Fantastic! Easy! Easy! I brought a batch of these to my dance club and everyone loved them. The only things I did different was use white chocolate chips as other reviewers suggested and I melted my chocolate in the microwave instead of on the stove. Chocolate melted fine. I used 40 seconds in my microwave, but since microwaves vary this may be a little too much or not enough. Thank you so very much for sharing. I will definetly make this again and again and again.

I love this recipe. I use white chocolate chips as well. I cup equals 6 oz. and I have found that Ghiradelli's works the best. I have tried Nestles and did not have good results. I am getting ready to make this for a bake sale the first weekend in October. mmm...

It was good. It made me think of the Andes candy.

What a delicious treat! I have made a variation of this recipe for years for a HOT FUDGE ice-cream topping. Use 1 can sweet condensed milk, and half a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
