Am I the only one who thought it was a total pain in the butt to spread in the pan? The first chocolate layer kept slipping around on the buttered foil and wouldn't spread to the edges. And then the mint layer was so thick, I had to basically crumble it over the chocolate. I've made some pretty great real fudges before (the kind you have to boil), but this was just too much of a pain to do again.

My family loves the Andes Mint Candies that you receive after dinner and they say this rates right up there with them if NOT better

This is such an easy, delicious treat that I would definitely make again. I only used about a 1/3 of the Peppermint Extract that's recommended, and it was perfect. It honestly tasted like a soft Andes candy. Everyone at our New Year's party loved it! Can't wait to try it again!

Was a little worried about the amount of pepperment called for, but this turned out great! My husband said it reminded him of an Andes Mint.

I made this fudge for Christmas and everyone like it very much. It is delicious and the mint is quite prominent which is what I like to taste. Thank you for this excellent recipe that will be made again and again. Happy New Year and thank you for all the WONDERFUL recipes I have used over the years.

My husband doesn't care for solid fudge like I do, but he loves mint, so I made this and he loved it! I thought my grandson was going to make himself sick he ate so much. I will certainly make this one again. It will probably become a favorite.

Not too minty, just right

A little too minty for my husband and son, so next time I will use less flavoring.

This was so easy to make and tasted great! It was just sweet enough, but not overly rich, so 1-2 pieces were plenty. I will definitely make this again, and I might also experiment with other flavored extracts or syrups.
