Microwave Fudge Recipe

I love all types of fudge..........this recipe makes a grainy,crumbly,old fashioned type fudge...... so not to everyone's taste.......but so much easier to make than normal recipes.

Ingredients

• 100gms [4 oz] milk or plain choc
• 100 gms [4 oz] melted butter
• 450 gms [1 lb] icing sugar  [or see below]
• 45 mls [3 tbsp] milk
• a few drops vanilla essence
• Greased 20 x 15 cm [8 x 6] tin

1. Melt the choc
2. Add melted butter,sugar,essence and milk
3. Mix well
4. Heat on high for 3-4 mins beating well every minute [beware - gets very hot]
5. When mixture starts to set round edges and becomes thicker, pour into greased tin
6. Allow to set for awhile before marking squares
7. When completely cold and set remove from tin carefully as very crumbly
8.  Try to keep some for Christmas Day

This has a 'vanillary' flavour........DD and I like it a bit more 'chocolatey'.........so sometimes replace 50gms of sugar with cocoa powder.......and she has already eaten half of what we made yesterday!!
There's also a lovely choc and cherry fudge recipe over on Sian's blog.
Today it's baking day.........semolina biscuits [have been making these since I was a child]........ and cranberry bars........so better get on.
