Who doesn’t love an indulgent piece of fudge? this is a great
'cheats' recipe as there is no boiling of sugar required, which is also handy if the kids want to help you.
It’s a very versatile recipe and you can use either milk or
plain choc, and you can use whatever fruit nut combination you like.It makes a perfect gift too....
Ingredients
210g dried
fruit &/or nuts (I chose equal amounts of cherries, blueberries and
pistachios)
*reserve 50g
of this for the topping*
230g plain or
milk chocolate
230g milk or
plain chocolate flavoured cake covering
* IMPORTANT
NOTE -this is the ONLY time I would ever advocate using this, in this recipe it
helps with the fudginess, but apart from this recipe never ever use it as
chocolate substitute!*
1 can of
condensed milk (normally about 400g)
½ tsp
vanilla essence
50g white
chocolate
·
Line an 8 or 9inch square tin with baking parchment,
break up the dark chocolate and the cake covering and put into a bowl along
with the condensed milk.
·
Stir briefly and then pop in the microwave for
2mins
·
Stir thoroughly and then return to the microwave
for a further 1 minute
·
Stir to ensure all the chocolate is melted, add
the vanilla, fruit & nuts and stir until combined.
·
Pour into the tin and spread evenly, give the
tin a tap of the counter to level it out and disperse any air bubbles.
·
Melt the white chocolate, drizzle over the fudge
and then sprinkle the remaining fruit and nut mix onto it.
·
Chill in fridge until set (approx 3-4hrs
·
To serve, cut into squares with a hot knife,
store in an airtight container in a cool place.
·
Should keep well for up to a week, if you manage to make it last that long!
Enjoy!
