A traditional Scottish fudge with a grainy texture. Get the whole family involved at the beating stage and share the rewards.  

Makes approx. 1.5kg (3lb 5oz)
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes

55g (2oz) butter 250ml (9fl oz) milk 900g (2lb) granulated sugar 397g can Carnation Condensed Milk

Grease and base line a 23cm (9in) square cake tin with baking parchment.   In a very large non-stick saucepan, melt the butter with the milk. Slowly add the sugar, bring to the boil and bubble briskly for 4 minutes.   Gradually stir in the condensed milk making sure that it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Bring back to the boil and bubble for approximately 20 minutes, stirring regularly, until the mixture is thick and a honey caramel colour.   Remove the pan from the heat and beat the fudge until thick and grainy (about 10 minutes).   Pour into the prepared tin and leave to set fully then remove tin and cut into squares

This is like vanilla flavoured Kendal mint cake, if you have never tried it.

Er, hang on - there's no chocolate in that recipe! I thought you didn't approve of this sort of thing?

I realised there were powers infinitely greater than mine.

Do you intend to coat it in choc then?
