Rum And Raisin Fudge
Rum And Raisin Fudge is quick and easy to make. We combine simple ingredients in one bowl and then transfer the wet fudge into a slice tin. It then gets put into the fridge to set. This boozy melt in your mouth fudge is guaranteed to be a huge hit especially during the festive season.

Ingredients
- 500 grams/16 oz dark chocolate Note 1
- 397 grams/1 tin sweetened condensed milk Note 2
- 50 grams/ ½ stick butter Note 3
- 1 cup raisins Note 4
- ¼ cup/60 ml rum
Instructions
- Slice tin: line a square cake or slice tin with 2 overlapping sheets of baking paper with an inch coming out of the pan on each side.
- Combine: add the dark chocolate, sweetened condensed milk and butter to a microwave safe container. Place this into the microwave and heat on high for 2 minutes. After this time is up, use an oven mitt to remove the jug and give the contents a stir. Then return the jug to the microwave for a further 1 minute increment. (The total microwave cook time across the 2 increments is 3 minutes).
- Rum and raisins: again remove the fudge from the microwave using an oven mitt and set it onto a heatproof surface. Add the raisins, followed by the rum and stir to gently combine.
- Transfer: next pour the combined rum and raisin fudge into the lined cake tin and gently tap it to remove any bubbles. Place it into the fridge and let it set for a minimum of 1 hour to a couple of hours or overnight.
- To serve: remove the set fudge from the fridge and use the overhang of baking paper to lift the fudge up and out of the tin. Remove the baking paper and discard. Then use a sharp knife and cutting board to cut the fudge into pieces. Transfer to a plate or bowl and serve.

Notes
- Note 1 - Dark chocolate: or you can use the equivalent amount of milk chocolate or white chocolate. Whichever type you choose, you need to use cooking chocolate not regular eating chocolate for the best results.
- Note 2 - Sweetened condensed milk: this is 1 regular tin.
- Note 3 - Butter: we want to use unsalted butter as a means to not add additional salt to the recipe. I find it melts the best if we chop it up into smaller pieces ie not one large piece before adding it to microwave save container.
- Note 4 - Raisins: we do need to add these to the melted chocolate mixture before adding the rum so that we avoid the chocolate seizing.
