Easy Chocolate Fudge

Better late than never I say! Have any last minute gifts to buy, then why not make some chocolate home made fudge!
Izzy and I made this fudge the other day and gave to her and Lilly's friends when they left after the Christmas tea party we had.
The extra bags will go be hostess gifts over the holidays.


You will need :
 

550g caster sugar
550ml double cream
75g liquid glucose
150g dark chocolate melted

Place the first 3 ingredients in a saucepan. Use a sugar thermometer and heat over a low heat , stirring consistently until the sugar dissolves, then increase heat and bring to the boil. Boil until temperature reaches 118c.

Remove from pan and beat in the melted chocolate. Keep beating until it thickens.

Pour into a lined tin and allow to set over night.

Cut into pieces and place in cellophane bags to give as gifts!

 

Variations :

Use milk or white chocolate instead
Why not add some rum and raisins to a plain fudge.
Add fruit and nuts

How are your Christmas plans going? Are all your presents wrapped? All the baking finished?
If you are anything like me you will still be spending tomorrow running around like a headless chicken turkey!

I am heading off to bed for an early rise tomorrow!
