Moggs shares Nov 14, 2008 06:06PM easy to make fudge for a friday: Cooking time Not long. Really. It's the refrigeration time that makes it take so long.
Moggs Nov 14, 2008 07:37AM 200g Marshmallows (approx); 60g Butter; 1 tablespoon of water; 1 teaspoon vanilla essence; 125g [block] of plain chocolate (or thereabouts)
Moggs Nov 14, 2008 07:38AM - the chocolate can be chopped, grated or pre-bought in bits; 125g (1 cup) - or as much or little as you like of nuts or fruit or any other
Moggs Nov 14, 2008 07:38AM flavouring/additive that takes your fancy. You don't need to add anything if you'd rather have it plain.
Moggs Nov 14, 2008 07:40AM Stir over low heat until butter and marshmallows are melted (OR microwave on medium high for about 2 minutes).
Moggs Nov 14, 2008 07:40AM Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla essence and chocolate Beat with a wooden spoon until mixture begins to thicken.
Moggs Nov 14, 2008 07:41AM Stir in flaviouring (nuts/fruit); mixture should be thick and sticky. Grease tray and pour mixture into tray (8x26cm tray)
Moggs Nov 14, 2008 07:41AM doesn't tend to measure too precisely... near enough really is good enough. It's never turned out badly for me.
TheBadMonkey Nov 14, 2008 07:42AM LOVE easy fudge. I have a really hard time waiting for it to set, though...
Moggs says Nov 14, 2008 07:42AM a guy I once worked with shared the recipe. His wife used to make it from time to time.
Moggs says Nov 14, 2008 07:43AM I've just provided it to my sister to make with the kids so thought I'd share it with you guys too.
Moggs Nov 14, 2008 07:43AM laughs at thebadmonkey. You could just eat the mixture I guess... *laughs, imagining the monkey covered in sticky goo*
Moggs Nov 14, 2008 07:45AM assures DamienFate it's really good - I only do it on rare occasions but it's easy and always goes over well.
Zarah Nov 14, 2008 09:27AM puts marshmallows on her shopping list and hopes she finds them at the supermarket tomorrow.
Linda says Nov 14, 2008 09:31AM Thank's Moggs! Sound yummie! Perhaps something for mother in laws b-day..and when mom comes visit..
