    Method

    1. Put the butter, condensed milk and vanilla extract into a bowl and beat together until smooth. Sift the icing sugar and cocoa together then gradually mix into the butter. Eventually you will have to use your hands and work the mixture well until it comes together into a firm ball.

    2. Lightly dust the work surface with icing sugar, place the fudge ball onto the surface and roll evenly about 1.5cm/½” thick.

    3. Use Christmas novelty cutters and cut out shapes, transfer them to a flat tray lined with baking paper. Alternatively roll into a square and cut into squares. Gather up the trimmings and continue to cut out shapes.

    4. Leave to dry overnight before serving or packing into pretty boxes if you want to give them as a gift.

    i made both chocolate and the cherry version. chocolate came out perfect and the cherry needed quite a bit more icing sugar (i didn't measure) as i added an extra 1/2tsp of vanilla extract. I did this with my little boy aged 2 who enjoyed getting his hands stuck in and cutting out shapes

    The fudge should keep for 3 weeks if you put it in the fridge in an airtight container, lined and separated with greaseproof paper.

    Loved it. Absolutely g.o.r.g.e.o.u.s.
    And it's not grainy if you use ICING SUGAR.

    Isn't this just icing?
