Chocolate Fudge

I thought this is a clever recipe to try. Looking forward to do some baking for the holiday seasons.

Chocolate Fudge Recipe

(Originally Nigella's Chocolate Pistachio Fudge)

  • 350g dark chocolate
  • 1 can (397g) condensed milk
  • 30g butter
  • pinch salt
  • 150g nuts (Either almonds, walnuts,almonds, marshmellows, dried cranberries, or any nuts /dried fruits of your choice)

  1. Put the chopped chocolate, condensed milk, butter and salt in a heavy- based pan on a low heat, and stir to melt.
  2. Put the nuts into a freezer bag and bash them with a rolling pin, until broken up into big and little pieces.
  3. Add the nuts (and/or dried fruits) to the melted chocolate and condensed milk and stir well to mix.
  4. Pour and spatch this mixture into a foil tray/baking tray 23cm square, smoothing the top.
  5. Let the fudge cool, and refrigerate until set.
  6. You can then cut it into small pieces approx. 3 X 2.25cm. Cutting 8 X 8 lines in the tin to give 64 pieces best achieves this.
  7. Once cut, it can be kept in the freezer- no need to thaw just eat straight away.
  8. Makes 64 pieces of rich fudge.
Will be posting a pic once I get this done up. If it lasts that long ^__^
