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)!

Love travelling as much as cooking?
Many of the recipes I share are inspired by places I’ve visited around the world. On Travel with Manu you’ll find destination guides, itineraries and travel inspiration to help you plan your next adventure.
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!
OMMMM nom nom yummy and so simple am going to have to give this a try..thanks Manu
