I added another teaspoonful of peppermint extract, as I ate all my Andes mints before they could make it in, ;) and added another half-cup of the chocolate chips. I used fat free condensed milk, too. I'm interested to see what a difference the full-fat (or even low-fat) condensed milk makes. Thank you for posting the recipe! I look forward to trying this technique out with other flavors and additions... =D

We are making this for a kids cooking class and I tried out ahead of time. It is delicious! I know the kids will love it. I did do only 14 oz of condensed milk added more chocolate chips and added a tsp of vanilla. We will be using Andes mints to give it more mintiness. Easy and delicious is what I love about this recipe!
