Cookies and Cream Fudge - with pics - 2nd version

[tarasis]

Oh Denise! Thank you, my tummy loves you but my teeth won't.

Robyn, as the recipe says, it's a Scottish treat (which I grew up eating in Northern Ireland, could be expensive). Basically it's a hard fudge the crumbles deliciously as you eat it.

[edit] hmm not sure I can get condensed milk here, missus not sure either. Will need to investigate.

Robyn,  i have been resisting making this Fudge as my DH would eat it until it was all gone,  probably in one sitting.  Maybe i will make him some for Xmas.  Thanks for the recipe.

Question, does anyone know if this recipe and/or the tablet recipe want sweetened or unsweetened condensed milk?

[judydawn]

I'ts sweetened condensed milk Rob and perhaps you could make your own with one of these recipes

tarasis i am making this now and i am using  sweetened condensed milk

[tarasis]

Thank you both and Judy *hug* trust you to find a TMX recipe for condensed milk!

[fundj&e]

That looks so good Uni - you are very generous with your serves.  When I made it, I only cut it into small cubes.

[fundj&e]

its for the restaurant, i did try a tiny bit and wow u could not eat a whole slice. maybe  for sharing

[cookie1]

It truly does look delicious. I think my DH would do it all in one sitting too.

Everyone here never stops at a piece Uni, so it is almost bite size in this house.  I have been known to make a batch for a particular occasion then keep nibbling so now I buy condensed milk in lots of 3  - no will power here when it comes to this fudge

Johnro, I think I love you! It is delicious and so much easier than on the stove top. I make a lovely caramel slice that is also going to be easier with TMX.

Bugger the diet! It almost christmas.

Do you need to keep the Fudge recipes in the fridge?  I wanted to put them in a hamper and wonder how long you could wrap it before christmas.

[johnro]

Glad you liked it Denise - diet who said diet (wash your mouth!!!!!)

Denise I was obviously posting at the same time as your question - the choc (tablet which I made yesterday)fudge keeps better out of the fridge for an extended period of time - the cookies and cream fudge as a result of the choc inclusion maybe best kept chilled or at least when you make it choose the longer cooking time to further caramelise the sugar/condensed milk, therefore helping extend the shelf life.  Judy may be able to provide some input as she made cookies and cream fudge for Christmas gifts/hampers last year.  I usually only do it a few days before putting the hamper together for gift giving.  Hope I have not added to the confusion of this time:)
