Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar (approx. 400g)
- 2 oz chocolate (56g)
- 1 cup milk (240ml)
- 1 tbsp butter (or 2 tbsps)
- 1 tsp vanilla (ensure UPF free)
Method
- Take two cupfuls of sugar, two ounces of chocolate, one cup of good milk, and one tablespoonful of butter, or if you wish a richer fudge use two tablespoonfuls of butter. Bring the sugar, milk and butter to a boil and cook until it threads or to 235 degrees.
- Add the chocolate which should be melted or shaved fine. Stir it in well, then add a teaspoonful of vanilla, and beat up until creamy.
- The secret of good fudge lies in the beating. Some stir constantly from the time it is removed from the fire until it turns creamy,[46] while others let it stand until nearly cool, and then beat up until creamy. Pour into buttered pan or mold, and when cold cut into neat small squares.
