Hi there,

I have tried doing a search several times but I'm having trouble finding what I need!

There was a recipe on here a while back for some easy microwave fudge but I can't find my printout anymore. Does anyone know where it is? It may even be on the special occassions board for homemade christmas stuff but I just can't find it - gggrrrr!

Thanks in advance

It's not fudge but there's recipes for tablet and toffee.

Just in time to add to the Christmas excesses- and perhaps to make little bags for gifts. I've finally been given a recipe for tablet which works (after many, many previous disasters).

As a bonus it is a microwave one so no standing by a hot hob for ages.

Anyway:

one small tin of evaporated milk (yes, evaporated not condensed)
1lb caster sugar
2oz butter

• put the ingredients in a very large pyrex/microwavable bowl and stir well together.
• Cook on high for 6 minutes.
• Remove and stir until it is all the same colour
• Return to microwave and cook for another 6 minutes
• remove and leave to stand until it stops bubbling
• Stir for approx 1 minute
• Pour into a square (8x8 or similar) baking tin

It's vital to make sure the bowl is a big one as it will expand and bubble up as it cooks.

It's absolutely delicious and I'm so excited that I've finally made tablet successfully. In fact I'm so excited I may well eat all the evidence myself and very soon will be feeling like this_pale_

Brilliant, thank you! I bought evaporated milk by mistake last week, what a quick and easy way to use it! Just to clarify, my tin is 400g, how much is in a small tin?

just fished it from the bin - the one I used was a carnation 170g but the friend who shared the recipe said about half of a big tin would be fine also. I've just looked and my big tins are 410g so I guess somewhere between 170 and 200g or so would be ok.
