Square tin: line a square cake tin (24cm x 5cm, 9" x 2") with baking/parchment paper, leaving a 1-2cm overhang on all 4 sides (Note 4).
Combine: add sweetened condensed milk, chocolate and butter to a heatproof jug. Place into the microwave and use high heat for 2 minutes. Then remove, set on a heatproof surface and stir. Next return to the microwave for 1 minute on high, then remove and set on a heatproof surface. Stir till consistently combined.
Transfer: pour wet fudge into lined cake tin and place in the fridge to set. After 1 - 2 hours (or overnight), remove and cut into individual pieces.

Note 1 - Chocolate: You can use chocolate melts, chocolate bits or a block of cooking chocolate broken into pieces. Ensure you measure it using kitchen scales or purchase exact quantity ie 500 grams (1 pound).
Note 2- Sweetened Condensed Milk: This is 1 standard tin of sweetened condensed milk. I use a spoon to scrape out as much as I can when adding it to the chocolate mix as it is quite thick and tends to 'stick' to the inside of the tin.
Note 3 - Butter: After you have weighed the butter to ensure the correct amount, use a knife and chopping board to cut it into small cubes. It will melt and mix easier this way (see photo in step by step instructions)
Note 4 Baking paper: The overhang is so that when the fudge is set, you have something to 'grab' hold of and pull up towards you, lifting the set block of fudge out of the tin.
Halloween Fudge: To turn it into 'Halloween Fudge' which is perfect for the end of October I use googly eyes and a combination of sprinkles.The best thing is that you don't have to use the exact same ones as me, you can choose your own and make it yours.
