Method

Prep time: 5 mins Cook time: 15 mins

Put the chocolate in a microwavable bowl and heat in the microwave on medium heat. Stir every 30 seconds and it will probably take around 2-3 minutes until it has just melted.

Add the butter, icing sugar, vanilla extract and milk, and mix well. Heat on high for 3-4 minutes. Take the mixture out of the microwave and beat well every minute. Take care, as the mixture and bowl will be very hot.

When the mixture starts to set around the edges of the bowl and becomes thicker, it is then ready to pour into a greased, 20cm x 15cm dish.

Allow the fudge to set for a few minutes before marking into squares, using a knife. Leave to cool before removing from the dish.
