Today, I'm going to show how to make your own fudge
We're going to be making it in a microwave
And we're going to be using condensed milk
Open up the can
And pour it into a mug, about half-way full
I'm going to add some flavour using chocolate
Break up a few pieces and put them into the mug
I'm also adding a little vanilla extract
Give it a quick mix
Then put it in the microwave for a minute
-Music-
Then give it a good stir
And put it back for another thirty seconds
Whilst you're waiting, line a dish with some greaseproof paper
You need to be careful that the mixture doesn't boil over the top of the cup so keep checking it
Take it out
Give it a stir
And put it back in the microwave for a short while
We need to keep doing this process over and over to thicken the mixture
Be careful because it'll be very hot and don't let it boil over
After it got really hot, I was putting mine in for about ten seconds at a time
But as it gets thicker you can leave it in there for longer because it doesn't boil over the cup so easily
And of course it depends on the power of your microwave
You need to keep repeating until it's a nice thick consistency like this
Then it's ready to pour out into the dish
Try to make sure you try to get all the mixture out the cup
And spread it out as evenly as you can
Let it cool down and place it in the fridge for about an hour
You can make yourself a nice small portion by pouring a little bit of condensed milk into your mug
And for this one, I'm gonna add a nice big spoon of peanut butter for flavour
Give it a bit of a mix
And put it in the microwave for a minute
I lined this small ramekin with baking paper
And after a minute, it was thick enough to put the mixture straight in
And leave it to cool with the other one
After an an hour take them out of the frige
You should find that it set nice and firm
Take it out of the dish
And peel off the greaseproof paper
And slice it into pieces with a knife
It should be nice and smooth and quite firm
You can display them nicely on a plate
And they look and taste fantastic
The peanut butter one should probably peel off the paper pretty easily
and you can cut it into quarters
This one is a beautiful golden colour and you can see the nuts
You can experiment with different flavours like Cappuccino, peppermint or maybe rum and raisin
Do try to make sure it doesn't boil over the cup when your making this
Maybe use something larger like a bowl
And make sure the mixture is nice and thick before you leave it to set
Because if its too runny and you spoon it into the dish
You will find even after its cooled, its not properly set and its still a bit gooey
If that happens you can scrape it back into the mug
And microwave it again until it thickens up properly
