Have you ever had a recipe you wanted to recreate? And it just does not work out even after a number of tries? If you have, well you are not alone! There is this recipe I have been trying for a while.
Leading up to christmas last year, I was drooling over all these delicious looking festive bake and no-bake treat recipes. One particular recipe caught my eye. It was described as a 'fool-proof' easy recipe. It was chocolate and it was a fudge! I could go no further, had to give it a try. The kidlets saw me looking at this recipe and egged me on. They loved the look of it too. So anyway I decided to give it a go. Once, twice, thrice, all of four times. It just was not working. I had all but given up when a knowledgable foodie friend suggested I try her fudge recipe. She cautioned me that it may take a couple tries, play around a bit though and have fun as the end result was always going to be 'sweet'.
Well I am happy to report, this recipe worked wonders and on the very first try at that!! Without further ado here is the recipe, give it a go! We called it the Pink Hearts Fudge
Pink Hearts Fudge
If using chocolate chips, close to the 30 minute mark, add in the chips and stir well so as to incorporate all the chocolate.
Once the chocolate has mixed in well, put a drop of the mixture in a bowl of cold water. This is a test for 'readiness of the mixture'. If the drop solidifies and sinks to the bottom, the mixture is done.
Shelf life is easily up-to a week, if it has not already found it's way into little 'treat-hungry' tummies!!

Pink Hearts Fudge
Ingredients -
Condensed Milk - 1can (390 grams)
White sugar - Half a standard measuring cup
Unsalted butter - 25 grams
Salted butter - 25 grams
Dark chocolate chips - optional
extra butter to grease a tray
Method -
Keep a greased pan ready on the side.
In a non-stick pan, melt the salted and unsalted butter.
Add in the sugar and condensed milk, mix well and cook on medium heat. The mixture goes through different consistency stages. It is quite viscous to begin with, then becomes a bit runny and finally thickens as it nears completion.
It is important to stir the mixture continuously (do not be tempted to increase the heat) for around 35 mins.
If using chocolate chips, close to the 30 minute mark, add in the chips and stir well so as to incorporate all the chocolate. Once the chocolate has mixed in well, put a drop of the mixture in a bowl of cold water. This is a test for 'readiness of the mixture'. If the drop solidifies and sinks to the bottom, the mixture is done.
Remove from the heat and pour into the prepared greased pan. If using any decorations like 100s & 1000s or colourful sprinkles, decorate it now. Leave it to cool and set.
Cut into desired shapes. Store in an air-tight container.
Shelf life is easily up-to a week, if it has not already found it's way into little 'treat-hungry' tummies!!
