SERVINGS: 114

CATEGORY: Dessert

METHOD: Microwave

TIME: Prep: 15 min. + chilling

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1-1/2 pounds white candy coating, divided
  • 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 4 drops green food coloring, optional
  • 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Directions:

Line a 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan with foil. Grease the foil with 1 tablespoon butter; set aside.
    In a microwave or heavy saucepan, melt 1 pound candy coating and chocolate chips. Spread half into prepared pan; set remaining mixture aside. Melt remaining candy coating; stir in extract and food coloring if desired. Stir in cream until smooth (mixture will be stiff). Spread over first layer; refrigerate for 10 minutes or until firm.
    Warm reserved chocolate mixture if necessary; spread over mint layer. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm. Lift out of the pan with foil and remove the foil. Cut into 1-in. squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield: about 2 pounds (about 9-1/2 dozen).
