INGREDIENTS:

• 2-12-ounce bags of white chocolate chips

• 1-3.4-ounce box of cheesecake flavor instant pudding
• 1/3 cup milk
• 3 cups of powdered sugar
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon mint-flavored extract
• Green food coloring
• Gold sprinkles or colored sugar
• 8×8 baking pan lined with parchment paper
• Cooking spray

INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1: Spray pan with cooking spray and cover bottom and sides of the pan with parchment paper and set aside. In a medium-size bowl, add butter and white chocolate chips.

Step 2: Mix the salt and mint extract into the melted chocolate mixture.

Step 3: Add pudding and milk to a small bowl. Whisk until smooth. [The consistency will be much thicker than when you usually make pudding.]

Step 4: Fold the pudding into the melted chocolate mixture.

Step 5: Slowly add in the powdered sugar, about ¾ cup at a time. You can use a hand mixer for this step, but you can also use a sturdy spoon.

Step 6: Continue to add powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and the consistency that fudge would be at this step. If it appears too thick, add a tablespoon of milk., If it appears too runny, add 1-2 tablespoons of powdered sugar.

Step 7: Separate mixture evenly into two bowls.

Step 8: Add green food coloring into one of the bowls. Add 1-2 drops until you get your desired color.

Step 9: Using a spoon, alternate adding the green and white fudge mixture until the bottom of the pan is covered.

Step 10: Using your knife, chopstick, or wooden skewer, swirl the mixture up and down and from left to right. Repeat until the fudge mixture is gone.

Step 11: Press sprinkles into the top of the fudge.

Step 12: Cover baking pan with foil and place in refrigerator until fudge is firm. Place fudge on cutting board and cut into 1-2” pieces and enjoy!
