As I posted before I have a serious love of fudge!
A serious serious love of it.
But the traditional recipe can be a little time consuming, even if an awful lot of the time is just waiting for it to cool. Sometimes I want fudge quickly. This is where this recipe comes in. Four ingredients and no sugar thermometer- fudge in a jiffy.
To up my chocolate fudge just a little I used a bar of Fruit & Nut (how exotic!) but you could use anything or stir extra surprises in at the end. How about dark chocolate with popping candy? Or milk chocolate with a Crunchie broken up and the honeycomb stirred through? Or other dried fruit and spices at Christmas? The possibilities are endless and probably all delicious! What would you add?
