Chocolate Peppermint Fudge

Spencer was given a book called Christmas Cooking for Kids by Fiona Hammond, as a Christmas present and the first recipe in the book is for Chocolate Peppermint Fudge. It looked good and is easy and from what I could tell was very much enjoyed, I certainly like it.

Ingredients

50g unsalted butter
395g tin condensed milk
250g dark chocolate, broken into pieces (I used Coles dark cooking chocolate)
100g peppermint flavoured dark chocolate, broken into pieces (I used Lindt's Mint Intense)
35g peppermint crisp chocolate bar finely chopped (optional)

It said to use an 18cm square cake tin (lined with baking paper), but I just used my Tupperware slice form, no need for baking paper.

Put the butter and condensed milk in a medium saucepan and place over low heat. Stir until the butter melts, then keep stirring for another minute. Remove the saucepan from heat.

Add the dark and peppermint flavoured chocolate to the saucepan and stir until they melt.

Pour the mixture into the prepared tin.

Sprinkle the surface with the peppermint crisp pieces, if using. Place in the fridge to set for 3 hours until firm.

Cut into pieces and enjoy!
