Hold on, lemme fetch my chocolate cookbook... <br /><br />It's a pretty normal boiled fudge recipe, but the cream cheese filling is: <br /><br />1 3-oz package cream cheese<br />2 cups powdered sugar<br />1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract (so, NOT a lot)<br />Green food coloring (because duh)<br />Plus, a little milk if you need help making it smooth. <br /><br />Mix it all up, and then it pretty much just goes as you imagine it does. Spread down a layer of fudge, spread the mint cream cheese filling, and spread more fudge on top. Refrigerate until set. Delicious. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17570085057174338847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977529359956146477.post-84441076815210705512018-08-20T23:22:45.182-07:002018-08-20T23:22:45.182-07:00It is one of my favorite times of year.

Sharing weird recipes with others who love them too is awesome.<br />And yeah, mint extract does get pretty pungent if you add even slightly too much, doesn't it? Also, minty cream cheese fudge sounds delicious! Is it just a regular fudge recipe with a layer of cream cheese spread in the middle of it, or is there something else worth knowing before making it?S.

Other people's reactions are the best parts of these.<br /><br />I dunno what it is about mint extract, but it can get pretty strong. I made some fudge once that had a strip of mint cream cheese in the middle. Sounds delicious, right? Except I accidentally added too much mint extract and it ended up tasting a bit like a strip of toothpaste. As long as you got a bunch of it in with the chocolate fudge, it tasted good, but if you tried to eat the cream cheese by itself, it tasted toothpasty.

It's surprisingly close to being a really good recipe given that it's for people on a diet in the 70s.<br />And yeah, when I saw one of the mints cracked open, I actually shouted "THESE THINGS ARE LIES!" in the kitchen.

I got that flavor once at an ice cream parlor when I was like 7, and felt guilty for wasting all the little gum pieces by not chewing them. So I had to stop and chew each little piece until the flavor ran out to prevent waste and tuck it into the napkin (this was perfectly logical since I was 7), which made that the most tedious bowl of ice cream my parents ever bought me. <br />Anyway, thank you! Glad you liked the pie.S.

It was bubble gum flavor - not bad until you realize that there are little bits of actual bubble gum in your ice cream. Do you try to save them out and chew them afterwards, eat them, spit them into a napkin and throw out? Nice job with the pie.Lace makerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04143113131447492242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977529359956146477.post-33980555529279327072018-08-20T17:02:10.212-07:002018-08-20T17:02:10.212-07:00Thank you!

It actually is good enough to make again-- which for a 1970s diet recipe is astonishing isn't it?<br /> I do think chopping the mints would have done a lot to improve it, although they really do turn astonishingly solid in the freezer. I might sprinkle them on top when serving it instead. S.

Sometimes you discover some great things, but you almost always have an adventure (that may or may not end in something that tastes awful, but that's part of the twisted fun). Also it's interesting to see what food was like in earlier times from the actual source, not from people today carefully selecting only the things that we would like in our current decade.<br />You'll definitely find some good ones! People seem to either send in awful ones or super-divine ones. Rarely does any one send in something that would make you calmly say "eh, not bad I guess." It's amost always one extreme or the other. :DS.
