The Best White Chocolate Fudge..Ever.

Rather than a cake, my lovely Pete made me white chocolate fudge. 
I'm in love with Granny Mac's fudge (Mt Tambourine Fudge) but I can say this fudge, was even better.

It's certainly not healthy, or vegan, but I had to share this sprinkle-covered baby all the same.



Ingredients
  • 400g Good quality white cooking chocolate, cut or broken into small pieces (2.4 blocks - oops!)
  • 250g Butter, chopped (1 stick butter)
  • 3 Cups icing sugar
  • 1/3 Cup cream
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Essence
  • Sprinkles/Hundreds & Thousands 


Method
  • Place the chocolate, butter, sugar and cream into a saucepan over gentle heat
  • Stir continuously until all ingredients have melted and mixture is smooth, let simmer for one minute then remove from heat.
  • Beat using a hand held mixer for 3 minutes, then add vanilla essence
  • Pour mixture into a 20cm square cake pan lined with baking paper
  • Smooth surface & coat in sprinkles
  • Refrigerate until firm - this took around an hour, although we did hurry the process by popping it in to the freezer for about 30 minutes! So about 2 hours should be enough in the fridge.
  • Cut into small pieces & store in an air tight container in the fridge!

Note
  • In this recipe, Pete used Milkybar white chocolate
  • You could easily experiment with this recipe, perhaps using regular chocolate, baileys or caramel!
  • Please let me know how you go making this!
