Easy Nutty Mint Chocolate Fudge (Microwave – ~3 min prep)

Ingredients

• 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• ½ tsp peppermint extract (go easy—it’s strong)
• ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or peanuts)
• Optional: pinch of salt or crushed candy canes

Instructions

1. Melt base
   In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips + condensed milk.
   Microwave in 30-second bursts (about 1.5–2 minutes total), stirring each time until smooth.
2. Flavor it
   Stir in peppermint extract and a pinch of salt.
3. Add crunch
   Fold in chopped nuts.
4. Set
   Pour into a lined dish, spread evenly, and chill in the fridge for 1–2 hours.

Speed hack

If you spread it thin, it firms up faster (closer to that “quick fix” vibe).

 Make it “powerful”

• Add a swirl of peanut butter for extra richness
• Use dark chocolate + roasted nuts for deeper flavor
• Sprinkle flaky salt on top → balances the sweetness
