Who doesn’t like chocolate?? Well… I know a couple of people who are not crazy about it, but really… not many, right? When it comes to home-made Christmas gifts, chocolate never fails and I try to always include something chocolatey in my little hampers. This year I made my favourite fudge! I made it for the first time many years ago, and when I say many, I mean “pre-Internet-time-many”! I got this great book on chocolate as a Christmas gift and this was the first thing I made! I still haven’t found a better recipe for fudge as of today! It is so easy to make, it literally takes 10 minutes, and it tastes delicious: smooth, silky, chocolatey, sweet (but not overly)… perfection! When it sets, cut it into cubes and store it in an air-tight container for up to 1 month (but it won’t last that long)!

Recipe Notes
Store in an air-tight container for up to 1 month. Do not freeze.
can we substitute the dark chocolate with normal milk chocolate????
You can, but the final result will be a bit sweeter as milk chocolate is sweeter than dark chocolate. 🙂
Can you make this with white chocolate instead of dark? The recipe works with semi sweet and milk chocolate mixes as well, but I wondered about the white version?
This is what I am going to make next week!!!! Yes
Definitely making these!
Yummy!
