A lovely friend once gave to me,
A most delightful recipe.
Each time I use it I feel I spend,
A precious moment with that friend.

I, too, have a favorite recipe,
Often enjoyed by my family.
May I share my recipe with you,.
Not an original, but tried and true

And with this offering I send,
The warmest greeting from a friend.

BEST EVER MINT FUDGE

3 C. ANDES MINT PIECES
PINCH SALT
1 CAN SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK
1 TSP VANILLA

MELT CHOCOLATE PIECES AND SALT OVER MEDIUM HEAT OR IN MICROWAVE, STIRRING FREQUENTLY. REMOVE FROM HEAT. ADD CONDENSED MILK AND VANILLA, STIRRING CONSTANTLY. POUR FUDGE INTO WAX-LINED 9X13 PAN (8X8 FOR THICKER FUGDGE) AND COOL IN REFRIGERATOR AT LEAST ONE HOUR. CAN ALSO BE COOLED QUICKLY IN THE FREEZER FOR 10-15 MINUTES. CUT INTO SQUARES AND ENJOY!

I have to admit, I made this one up myself. I generally used regular chocolate chips and mint extract, which is still really yummy, but there was just something about Andes Mints pieces that pulles on my brain to try and by golly it turned out pretty good. I like it best around Christmas, and is perfect for a homemade gift.
