Thanks guys- you're all stars

The fudge they sell (v. expensive) at our local farmers market is the crumbly kind, but I only like the smooth type! Guess it must take longer to make to ensure all the sugar crystals are melted in!

I use this recipe. Foolproof and no thermometer needed. I added baileys to it - it was amazing. You do have to beat it for a long long time though to get it smooth

Thanks for the recipe Tinkerbell, could you tell me how much Bailey's you added as I am sure I'd add too much as I'd love it taste really Baileys-ish:rolleyes: , without it being rank IYKWIM.

Thanks,

I think I'd describe it as a goodly splosh

Between 4 and 6 tablespoons I expect (possibly a bit more)

Thanks tinkerbell! Poundland had condensed milk for £1 so I will get some tomorrow, Baileys fudge here I come!!:rotfl:

I made some of the Nestle rum raisin fudge today and so far (from what I could scrape off the spoon) it tastes really good. I suspect it will be more creamy than crumbly but I'm not really that bothered as I know it will get eaten and it has the nice grainyness you would expect from fudge.

Might try the recipe on that site for tablet and see how that works out

Angelraesunshine

It should thicken if you boil it (rolling boil) for 3-4 mins.

If it doesn't then I'm not sure why it hasn't.

Sorry can't help any more!!
