    You can't go wrong by making these Double Chocolate Creme de Menthe Fudge Shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day! They are absolutely delicious and have just the right amounts of mint and chocolaty goodness.

    Being a blogger has opened a world of opportunities to me and I am so excited to announce my partnership with Wilton. They have asked me to be a member of their Sweet Treat Team and to create recipes using their products. I am thrilled to be working with a company who's products I've been using since childhood.

    If you are a regular reader, you know how much I love Wilton's silicone molds. I've used them to create my Conversation Heart Cheesecakes, Easy Cheese Bread Leaves, Creamy Coconut Stars, Sour Gummy Bunnies, and Bacon Cheddar Beer Bread Footballs, just to name a few.

    You can't go wrong by making these Double Chocolate Creme de Menthe Fudge Shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day! They are absolutely delicious and have just the right amounts of mint and chocolaty goodness.

    Every year when St. Patricks' Day rolls around, I use my Silicone Mini Shamrock Mold to make something. Last year it was Mini Shamrock Reveal Pound Cakes, the year before, Easy Lime Semifreddo Shamrocks, this year it's Double Chocolate Creme de Menthe Fudge Shamrocks.

    These St. Patty Day treats took me 15 minutes of prep time. That's it.

    They were so easy to make, but you wouldn't know it when you bite into the fudge. It's perfectly creamy and smooth and the combination of white and dark chocolate complimented by the Creme de Menthe is refreshing and rich all at the same time.

    How to make Double Chocolate Creme de Menthe Fudge Shamrocks


    NOTE: I made my fudge in the microwave, and as you know microwave ovens are all different. Use my instructions as a guideline. Be careful to not overheat the fudge, as the cocoa butter will seep out and make greasy fudge that will harden with lumps of the fat. Not good! If you don't want to use a microwave, you can heat it over low heat in a pan instead.

    Put the semi-sweet chocolate into a microwave safe bowl and the white chocolate into another. Pour one cup of the sweetened condensed milk over the semi-sweet chocolate and the remaining sweetened condensed milk over the white chocolate.

    Heat the white chocolate on high in the microwave for 25 seconds. Let it rest in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. Remove and stir. Heat on high for 15 seconds, rest one minute, then stir. If all the chocolate is not melted, heat at 50% power for 10 second increments, resting and stirring after each until melted.

    Stir in 4 teaspoons of the Creme de Menthe. Add some green food coloring, if you want a brighter green fudge.

    Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the green fudge into the 12 shamrock cavities in your silicone molds. Tap the mold to evenly spread the fudge in the shamrocks.

    Stir in the remaining Creme de Menthe.

    Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the dark fudge into each shamrock cavity. Tap mold to spread evenly.

      Does the alcohol cook off? Are these safe for kids to eat? Do they taste like alcohol? Does this need to be store din the fridge or room temperature?

        The alcohol does not cook off, so I'd use Creme de Menthe syrup instead of the liquor if you are serving these to kids. You can store the fudge Christmas trees at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

      Can this be made using chocolate and almond bark? And what size molds are you using? Thanks, I look forward to trying this!

        Hi Charlie,
        Yes, you can use pure chocolate to make the dark chocolate fudge layer and white almond bark to make the green creme de menthe layer. The mold I used was about the size of a cupcake. Sadly, it's no longer available. I did find a mold that would work for you - https://amzn.to/3bGBwH6

        Enjoy!

      Love this idea...it is just too cute! I love fudge, but the mint adds a new dimension to fudge for me. On top of that, it's a cute little shamrock to surprise someone with for luck. Thanks for sharing!
