Notes

Use good quality, rich dark chocolate. Or to make white chocolate fudge, remove from heat and stir in 150g chopped white eating chocolate. To make creamy caramel fudge, cook condensed milk mixture, stirring, for 20-25 minutes or until mixture has turned a rich caramel colour. Store fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
