How To Make holiday chocolate mint fudge ring

• 
  Step 1
  Parchment paper line a round cake pan. Get a ramekin,or tiny glass for center of ring. Wrap parchment paper over ramekin and tuck under. Place in the center of the parchment lined cake pan with bottom side down. You can parchment line anything if need be.As long as it creates a center hole.
• Step 2
  Take 3/4 of the can of condensed milk and pour over the 3 cups of chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl.Add 1/2 tsp of peppermint extract, and stir them together. set microwave time for 30 seconds,then stir. Keep doing this until chocolate is nicely melted nice and smooth.
