A sweet interlude …

Some things are meant to be! By chance when browsing my bookshelves I came across one of my favourites - The Little Book of Chocolat” by Joanne Harris and Fran Warde. I reviewed this book and road tested many of it's recipes in July 2017 – yikes, how time flies! I can never resist looking at the tabs I made at the time and came across the following which I thought would be the perfect hit for the chocoholics out there – it slipped through the net in 2017 – how could I let that happen!


Chocolate Fudge Squares

Takes 1½ hours/ make 50 pieces


400g dark or milk chocolate, broken into small

even sized pieces

25g butter

397 can condensed milk

100g icing sugar

30g cocoa powder, sifted


Line a 20cm square shallow tin with baking parchment.

Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie. In a non-stick saucepan melt the butter and gently warm the condensed milk, then add the melted chocolate and mix until smooth. Beat in the icing sugar until blended and smooth.

Put the mixture into the prepared tin, spread evenly into the corners, smooth over the top and place in the fridge to set for at least 1 hour. Remove and cut into small squares and dust with cocoa.


Coming next - a photo or two and a few hints and tips …
