Fabulous Mint Fudge We Made Last Night!

Submitted by Kathy_in_Colorado

"My husband went to the Andes mints website and found this recipe. It is so easy and after letting it sit overnight - we couldn't wait to try it this am- it just melts in your mouth! So, good - now I'm going to make their cookies - you put the mint candy in the middle of each ball of dough. Oh, I couldn't find the Andes baking chips at Albertson's yesterday so I bought the box of candies - yummy! My 8 and 9 year old helped make this - here is the website with a copy of the recipes: http://www.totsie.com/recipes.html I'm sorry - I'm going to have to guess on the servings as it made a lot"

I made this for our neighborhood Christmas cookie/gift exchange this past year. Let me start by saying the flavor was out of this world! I loved it. Unfortunately I had some problems with it the recipe. The fudge even after 18 hours set up time in the refridgerator, stuck to the foil. I ended up having to freeze it for 30 minutes before I could pry the foil off. The fudge remained very soft and didn't set up correctly until it had been in the refrigerator for 2 1/2 days for some reason. I wrote the Andes company for advice but have not heard back from them. I will say that I will make this recipe again but I think I'll use it as a fudge frosting for cakes!
