- 200g/7oz dark chocolate Note 1
- 340g/12oz orange chocolate block broken into pieces, Note 2
- 397g/14oz sweetened condensed milk 1 tin, Note 3
- 50g/1.7oz butter unsalted, chopped into pieces Note 4
Line a square cake or slice tin (24cm x 5cm, 9" x 2") with baking/parchment paper, leaving a 1-2cm overhang on all 4 sides (Note 4)
Add sweetened condensed milk, orange chocolate pieces, dark chocolate and butter to a heatproof jug
Microwave the fudge on high temperature for 2 minutes. Use an oven mit to remove the glass jug, place on a heatproof surface and then stir to combine (using a spatula)
Return the jug to the microwave and again heat on high for 1 minute.
Remove the jug from the microwave, place on heatproof surface and stir till consistently combined
Transfer the wet fudge to the lined tin and use a spatular to spread it out evenly. Hold the edges of the tin and tap 1-2 times before placing the fudge in the fridge to set
After a minimum of 1 hour, remove fudge from fudge and use a sharp knife to cut into pieces
This fudge will make 36 pieces when the square is cut into 4 and those squares are cut into 9 pieces each
Store fudge for up to 10 days in the fridge in a sealed, air tight container
- Note 1 You can use chocolate bits, chocolate pieces, chocolate melts, or a block of cooking chocolate broken into pieces. Whichever you choose it needs to be the equivalent amount as per the recipe. I prefer to use chocolate melts, as they are my favourite to work with.
- Note 2 I use 2 x 170 gram blocks of orange block chocolate. Of the 2 most commonly found types for sale in Australia, I use the thick block like version, not the thin version.
- Note 3 This is 1 standard tin of sweetened condensed milk. Not to be confused with evaporated milk. Sweetened condensed milk is sweet and has a thick consistency.
- Note 4 The reason why we need to chop the butter into small pieces is to make it easier to melt and stir it together with the other ingredients. We don't want any blobs of butter in the fudge, so start small and stir till consistent! (You won't see any yellow in the fudge, keep stirring till it is all a smooth dark chocolate colour).
