Ingredients
  

Fudge Base
  • 24 ounces Green Candy Melts Substitution: Use white chocolate with green food coloring if unavailable.
  • 14 ounces Sweetened Condensed Milk No direct substitution recommended for best results.
  • 3 tablespoons Creme de Menthe Liquor or Syrup Substitution: Use peppermint extract (1 teaspoon) for a non-alcoholic version.
Decoration
  • 1 cup Rainbow Nonpareils Substitution: Use any preferred colorful sprinkles.
  • 1 cup Gold Star Sprinkles Substitution: Any star-shaped edible decoration can be used.

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • pastry bag
  • star tip
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Steps
  1. Start by placing 24 ounces of Green Candy Melts into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them on high for about 1 minute, then stir and return to the microwave, heating in 15-second bursts at 50% power until smooth and fully melted.
  2. Once the candy melts are smooth, add in the 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk along with 3 tablespoons of Creme de Menthe. Stir vigorously until the mixture resembles thick, rich fudge.
  3. Cover the fudge mixture with plastic wrap and allow it to cool at room temperature. Stir every 5 minutes for about 20–30 minutes until it thickens to an easy-to-pipe frosting-like consistency.
  4. Prepare a pastry bag by fitting it with a star tip. Once the fudge has thickened, fill the bag with the fudge mixture. Pipe tree shapes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Add visual flair by placing a gold star sprinkle atop each tree. Then, sprinkle rainbow nonpareils around the base for colorful decoration. Allow the fudge to set at room temperature until firm.
