[Cornish Cream]

Is there much left MF

[KarenH]

I'm making a batch of this now - special request from DS for his 4th birthday party on the weekend.  In fact, this was the only thing he wanted for his birthday party 

It is a firm favourite in our house for any special occasion

Oh, he does so like his sweets Karen, I think he tried every cake & dessert you had on the table the day we were all up there.

Not much CC as the parents all helped themselves when they picked the kids up 
Very yummy.

[Bedlam]

Looks very  nice MF. We love the original but try to only make it for special occations.

Good for you Odessa, lots of lovely recipes on this forum.  Thanks for your first review, who not pop over to the introduce yourself section on the home page and tell us a bit about yourself, how long you've had your TMX etc.

hello, Im thinking of recipes for christmas gifts and this is one I have been saving for the occasion!. Just a question regarding packaging, how do others package it up to show it off to the max? cello bags? does it sit ok on top of each other? or does it need to be flat in a single layer? Dont want it to go all squishy and melty.
thanks for the lovely recipe.

I like to put it randomly in a bowl/on a plate that will be part of the gift and then wrap in cello bag tied with a bow. I also buy a tub of mini oreos and push a few (maybe 10) into the fudge after I've spread it into the tray...They add a little something (not that this fudge needs any extras though :D ). Ill take a photo next time. .. would love to see your finished gifts too

I bundle it together in anything and everything (cellophane, bags, coffe mugs, small dishes - last year gave handmade  bonbons full of fudges

[Brumington]

Love it Johnro. I'm making some for the kindy teachers. How long in advanced can I make it?

I just had my first go at making this and wrecked it and nearly cried. 

Was I meant to leave the MC off while cooking???
I'm only a newby and didn't see it anywhere where it says to leave it off.

All was good until I added the chocolate and after mixing it, it was lumpy and had separated into alot of water and a lumpy mess.
I've drained the water and put the lumpy solid stuff into the tray anyway as my partner will eat just about anything.

Do you think the cause was the MC or did I overcook the chocolate?

Its set with a butter like residue on top and the texture is very grainy :-(

How upsetting aussiegal7. I haven't made this fudge bit I'm sure someone will help you.

Robyn what a lovely way to gift it.
