Ingredients
  

For the fudge
  • 500 g milk chocolate
  • 397 g tin condensed milk
For the decoration
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Edible writing pen
  • Christmas sprinkles

Equipment

  • 8 inch baking tin
  • Digital scales
  • Measuring cups
  • Heatproof bowl
  • measuring spoons
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Line a square 8 inch (20cm) baking tin with baking or parchment paper. We find the easiest way to do this is to cut a long strip the width of the tin and place it in the tin one way, then do the same ther other way. If you leave a bit of baking paper overhanging it will be easier to remove the fudge once it's set.
Melt the fudge ingredients together
  1. Weigh the chocolate, then break it up into small pieces and add it to a heatproof bowl.
    Pour in the whole tin of condensed milk.
  2. Set your bowl over a pan of simmering water to melt the chocolate and condensed milk together in (ie a double boiler).
    Keep stirring everything with a spatula or a wooden spoon until the chocolate has melted and it comes together in a nice smooth consistency.
Make the Christmas fudge
  1. Pour the fudge mixture into your prepared baking tin. Using the back of a spoon or your spatula, smooth the top and press it down into the corners.
  2. Add the Christmas sprinkles to the top of the fudge.
    To make the mini snowmen, we used an edible pen to dot on some buttons and eyes to two mini marshmallows then added them to the top of the fudge and gently pressed them in.
  3. Leave the fudge to set.
    Cover your fudge in cling film/glad wrap or tin foil and leave it somewhere cool to set. Once it has cooled down a enough you can put it in the fridge for a few hours to set completely.
  4. When the fudge has firmed up, cut it into small pieces with a sharp knife .
