This is the ultimate combination of chocolate and mint. It is my most requested fudge.

12 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup marshmallow creme
3 cups sugar
1 1/2 tsp peppermint extract (be generous)
2/3 cup water
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2/3 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup unsalted butter

Line a 9 inch pan with foil or butter one of those cheap aluminum pans. Place chocolates, marshmallow and peppermint in bowl. Mix sugar, milk, water, cream and butter in a heavy saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and bring to a full rolling boil. Reduce heat to medium-high and stir slowly until candy thermometer reaches 235 F.

Pour boiling mixture over ingredients in bowl. Stir vigorously with spoon until chocolate melts and fudge thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Immediately pour fudge into prepared pan, smooth top and chill until firm.
