Russian Fudge

There's so many different types of fudge out there, and this one is about as Kiwi as it gets!

Strawberry White Chocolate Fudge

Strawberries are my favorite summer fruit, it pairs well with all kinds of chocolate. Here strawberry is matched with white chocolate in a super simple to make fudge.

Russian Fudge Bars

What makes fudge even better than just plain ol' normal fudge? Coating it in chocolate and making it into candy bars of course!

Hazelnut Chocolate Fudge

Fudge is such a simple no-bake treat, taking only minutes to prepare. It also makes a fantastic gift for the holidays - everyone loves fudge!

Rocky Road Fudge

Fudge is so quick and easy to make and since it keeps so well is great to take to morning teas, and special occasions.

Peppermint Fudge

This is the last recipe in my series of holiday season baking treats. This is a super simple recipe for peppermint fudge.

Chocolate Orange Fudge

Chocolate and Orange is a classic flavor combination - one that is especially popular in the holiday season. Fudge makes a perfect homemade gift as well, it keeps very well and can be dressed up in cellophane or mason jars.

Chocolate Fudge Slice

Here's another recipe that I posted way back when I first started my blog: my all time favorite chocolate slice. Just like yesterdays post I used my brand spanking new camera to provide you with photos that are at least a million times better than those on the original post. Enjoy :)

When I was a kid my Mum used to make this slice all the time (without a few ingredients that I have since added in, and with sprinkles!) so you could definitely say that this is a favorite of mine. It's also the first thing I ever learnt to bake by myself. I must have been about 11 or so and Mum was in the kitchen watching me. I misread the recipe and added 20 g of butter instead of 200 g. Oops. But I got there in the end and I have never made that mistake again.

This is a REALLY simple slice. It takes next to no time and it always comes out tasting wonderful.

Chocolate Fudge Slice

Makes at least 16 pieces

250 g (9 oz) Vanilla cookies
4 Tbsp cocoa
1 Cup light sweetened condensed milk
200 g (7 oz) butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 Cup shredded coconut
1/2 Cup chopped peanuts

Chocolate icing:

1/2 Cup dark chocolate chips
1/4 Cup cream
1 1/2 Cup icing sugar

1. Put the cookies into a food processor and whiz to a crumb. I like to not take it too far so that there are still a few chunks of biscuit in there).

2. Combine the cookie crumbs, coconut, and peanuts in a large bowl.

3. Melt the butter in a saucepan together with the condensed milk and cocoa. When it is all melted nicely and getting hot remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Mix into the cookie mixture and pour into a lined slice tin. Refrigerate until firm, ice with chocolate icing* and refrigerate again until icing is set. Cut into slices and store in a sealed container in the fridge.

Chocolate icing: Melt the chocolate chips into the cream. Stir in sifted icing sugar. Spread over the top of the slice.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge

Fudge is so easy and so delicious and also a favourite of my man so while I was waiting on some baking to come out of the oven a threw this together. Only took a few minutes, also set rather quickly so I didn't have to wait long at all to test it out but I will admit that I had a taster before it was completely set!

I think it goes without saying that this one isn't on my healthy list. But we can all do with a treat every now and again.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge

Makes about 20 pieces

1/2 Tin (200 g) Lite condensed milk
100 g butter
1 Cup brown sugar
1/2 Cup peanut butter
100 g milk chocolate, chopped

1. Line a 20 cm pan with baking paper.

2. Place condensed milk, butter, and brown sugar in a saucepan over a low heat and cook for about 10 minutes, until the mixture starts to bubble. Stir approximately every 2 minutes.
