Homemade Fudge!!!

Whenever the kids are in the mood for something homemade and sweet and really quick, I always go to this recipe, its easy and I always have the ingredients on hand and something homemade always beats something store bought! I know your family will love it as much as mine does! I was not going to post this recipe because everyone has a fudge recipe, but this one goes out to my very dear friend in Australia...........Natalie!


INGREDIENTS:
2 Cups of sugar
5 Tbsp water
2 Tbsp syrup
4 Tbsp butter
1 Can Condensed Milk
1 tsp Vanilla essence

Grease a 20x28cm dish.
In a heavy pot mix together the sugar and water and stir over a low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add the syrup and butter and stir until the butter has melted.
Add the Condensed Milk and stir until the mixture comes to a boil.
Boil slowly and keep stirring constantly, for about 20 min to make sure that the fudge is ready drop a drop of fudge into a glass of water and if it hardens its ready.
Remove the pot from the heat and add the vanilla essence and pour out into your greased dish, I use a 20 X 28 cm dish.
Cut into squares when its almost cold.

The best part about this is you can make different variations of it with anything you have in the cupboard.

Make peanut fudge by adding a cup of peanuts to it before you pour it into your dish or add about 100g of chocolate chips to it to make chocolate fudge or for kids parties you can even add in jelly beans or m&m's. Whatever your fancy is add it to this fudge and sit back and watch everyone enjoy!

I would love to hear some of your ideas and how you changed up your batch of homemade fudge!

It will be SWEET to hear from you (pardon the pun)
