Easy to make and delicious! Even people who are not "peppermint lovers" raved about how good this was!

Really liked these. With the consistency and flavor of fudge but with cool peppermint too, they were way too easy to eat. I made raspberry as well and the red and green combination looked great in my gift boxes for Christmas. I only with that the volume of the chocolate layer was a little greater so it would be easier to get two layers out of it. One layer was always thin. This goes in my "keeper" box, for sure.

I have made this candy every year since I found it. I change up the type of chocolate and extract to make other variations too (raspberry and milk chocolate, orange and dark chocolate)
