Fabulous Fudge

Total Time: 11 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 6 mins

Ingredients

• 2 (400 g) cans condensed milk
• 2 cups packed brown sugar
• 250 g butter
• 100 ml liquid glucose
• 3 tablespoons golden syrup
• 400 g chopped chocolate (you can use mlk or dark)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Recipe

• 1 spray and line with non-stick baking paper, a 20 x 30 cm, quite deep (at least 4 cm) tin, or 2 smaller tins.
• 2 place all ingredients, except the chocolate and vanilla, in a large heavy based saucepan and stir over medium heat until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves.
• 3 bring to the boil and boil gently until it becomes very thick and changes colour to a dark caramel brown paper shade – about 6 minutes, to the soft ball stage, 116°c on a sugar thermometer.
• 4 stir often to prevent it catching on the bottom – i find a silicon spatula the best gadget to stir with.
• 5 remove from heat and stand until the bubbles subside.
• 6 stir in the chocolate and vanilla until melted and smooth.
• 7 pour into the prepared tin and smooth the surface.
• 8 cool to room temperature (about 3 hours) then refrigerate until firm.
• 9 cut into squares.
• 10 store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 6 weeks – if you’re lucky.
