Chocolate Mint Fudge....12 weeks of Christmas

This is such a pretty, festive candy!

It's very rich and full of peppermint flavor. It tastes just like Christmas. I like a small piece after a meal, like an after dinner mint.

Actually it's the perfect ending to a big Holiday meal!







Chocolate Mint Fudge


2 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 c. powdered sugar
3 tbsp. baking cocoa
1 tsp. milk ( I added a bit more)
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 c. chopped nuts

Line a bottom and sides of a 8x4 in. loaf pan with foil. Grease the foil with 1 1/2. tsp. butter.
Beat the cream cheese, until creamy. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar, cocoa, milk, and vanilla. Stir in the nuts. Spread into prepared pan and refrigerate 1 hour.

Peppermint layer:
