White chocolate fudge

tudybobs

Hello everyone.

As a rule we don't do adult presents at christmas but after finding this forum yesterday I'm so inspired and have decided I'd like to make my siblings and their partners a little selection of homemade tasties as a token gift. I found a recipe on here last night for a no cook white chocolate fudge but I can't find it again. Does anyone know where I should be looking? Also if anyone else has any suggestions as to what else I could put in my baskets I would be very grateful. I've already decided to do a few flavoured vodkas but I'm trying to find some smaller bottles to decant the different flavours into.
I know I'm being cheeky but if anyone can help me source these too I'd be extremely grateful!!!
Cheers guys!

Taken from a post by funnyfreckle:

200g white chocolate; 175g unsalted butter; 50g condensed milk; 500g icing sugar sifted

1. Melt the white chocolate in a bowl over a pan of just simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Stir until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. Beat the butter in a large bowl. Stir in melted chocolate and condensed milk. Gradually beat in icing sugar until you have a smooth, non sticky dough. Press in to a non-stick baking tin, about 25x15x4cm deep. Put in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up.
3. Carefully run a sharp knife around the edge of the chocolate fudge and turn out on to a chopping board - firmly tap the tin to release the fudge. Cut evenly into 48 squares.
4. If you want to you can melt 50g of milk or plain chocolate (as point 1). Spoon in to a piping bag fitted with a small plain nozzle and pipe flowers or shapes on to the fudge squares. Allow the chocolate to set before gift wrapping or eating.

I've made the one that I posted above, but it is so sickly sweet! My dad who has a sweet tooth could only eat 1 cube, so I wouldn't recommend putting any more chocolate over it.

How about making some basic shortbread- use tiny Christmas cutters and drizzle chocolate over them. Put them in cellophane bags and tie with ribbon?

Ooh im gonna try the shortbread me finks

Definetley sallsavings. You HAVE to try and test. the one tip I would advise is to write or print the recipes out, so you have the ones tried and tested. You can then also add anything different you have done to make them to your taste.

How long would the fudge keep for?
