Easy Chocolate Mint Fudge

Based on Nestle's Easy Fudge.

Notes

During the holidays, Nestle starts selling Dark Chocolate and Mint morsels which work great for this recipe. If you can't find them, use 1 cup of semi-sweet morsels and 1 cup of white chocolate morsels. Stir in 1/2 tsp of mint extract and some green food coloring into the white morsels after they have melted.

Makes about 64 pieces
