Dark chocolate, orange and hazelnut fudge

[judydawn]

I finally found a packet of skinless hazelnuts in Foodland this week - I bought a packet but for no reason, just because I was so excited to see them skinless.  I've made enough nibbles for Christmas otherwise I would make this recipe.

Sorry cookie mine was a bit tacky too. But I solved that problem, I dipped the next batch in white chocolate.

Good thinking.
I've cut this batch up and we just take a piece from the fridge when we want it. If we end up with baking paper stuck to it, too bad.

I didn't think baking paper was supposed to stick to food Cookie 

[Amy :-)]

I hope not Judy, because I also have this in the fridge, in a dish lined with baking paper. I'm pretty sure it doesn't

I made this yesterday but I used macadamias instead of hazelnuts because I had already made some hazelnut chocolates. We'll see how the guests like it tomorrow

Sounds delish!

I just made this today - still in the fridge in a paper-lined tray. I cooked it for 3mins extra to hopefully reduce stickiness, not that I have made it before, so can't really compare

After cooking, I put milk in the bowl and heated to 80deg and had a beautiful jaffa hot chocolate (even though it is a hot day)  

[Amy :-)]

Gosh that sounds good Jo!!

Hana, that looks great. Just like the jaffas we used to roll down the aisle at the movies.

  Wot!!  you, too!!!?? 

Looking forward to trying these - many thanks for the recipe - sounds wonderful!!

[Amy :-)]

Even I can put my hand up to rolling jaffas down the aisle! I tried it with smarties once but they don't work as well unless you can get them to stay on their side

Judy the fudge peels off the baking paper when it is in the fridge, but if out for any period of time it gets very sticky. I added the Grand Marnier to mine too. It is ever so tasty.

[Amy :-)]

I served this with the desserts at our Christmas lunch today. It went down really well, our guests were very happy to take some with them when they went home!!

[jo_nz]

Same here - big hit.
It was a bit sticky so I sprinkled icing sugar on the dish, and more on top, and it seemed to do the trick making it easy to pick up and hold.

Good hint, thanks.
