This was a fun recipe to make! It involves a bit more equipment than my normal recipes. If you don’t have silicon dome molds, you could easily just make this a layered fudge by spreading it out in a flat pan. Either way, one bite will make your heart grow three sizes bigger!

Ingredients:

For the mint fudge:

• 12oz white chocolate

• 6oz sweetened condensed milk

• 2tsp mint extract

• green food coloring or food gel

For the chocolate fudge:

• 8oz semi sweet chocolate

• 8oz sweetened condensed milk

• 1tsp vanilla

For the chocolate hearts

• 8oz white melting chocolate

• red food coloring or food gel

Directions:

Make the chocolate fudge:

1. Place the semi sweet chocolate chips, and sweetened condensed milk in a bowl and place it over a bain-marie. Constantly mix this until it melts into a smooth and thick mixture. Add the vanilla and mix until combined. Remove from heat.

2. Scoop the fudge into 1” silicon dome molds. Set aside in the freezer.

2. Add a few drops of green food coloring and mix it in.

Assemble the domes.

1. Remove the chocolate fudge domes from the freezer and remove them from the mold.

2. Add a scoop of the mint fudge into 2” silicon dome molds and press the smaller, chocolate fudge domes into the centers. If a lot of excess mint fudge overflows when you press in the chocolate fudge centers, trim it off with an offset spatula or a knife.

3. Set aside in the freezer.

Make the chocolate hearts:

1. Place the white chocolate in a bowl and place it over a bain-marie. Constantly mix this until the chocolate completely melts. Remove from heat.

2. Add in a few drops of red food coloring or food gel. If the chocolate seizes from the food coloring, mix in some vegetable oil little by little to get it back to a smooth consistency.

3. Smooth some of the red chocolate into a small, heart-shaped silicon mold and let the chocolate set.

Final assembly:

1. Remove the mint chocolate domes from the freezer and release them from the silicon mold.

2. Remove the red chocolate hearts from the silicon mold and place a little dab of extra red chocolate on the bottom so it will adhere to the fudge dome. Place the red heart on the top of each fudge dome.

3. Enjoy!
