Let's make Grinch Fudge
1. Melt the chocolate in the microwave.
Melt for 30 seconds and then stir using a wooden spoon, keep repeating until the chocolate is fully melted. Remember to stir the chocolate at the bottom of the bowl as this can get easily burnt.
2. Pour in condensed milk
Pour in the can of condensed milk - around 14 oz. Use a spatula to get all the contents out of the can.
3. Pour in melted butter
Melt the 15g (1 tablespoon) butter in the microwave, it should only take around 20 seconds to melt depending on the temperature of your microwave.
4. Mix together
Mix all melted ingredients together using a wooden spoon.
Whilst mixing add a pinch of salt
5. Add green food colouring until the desired colour.
If you're concerned about the fudge appearing excessively green, start by adding only 5 drops of coloring, as you can add more later if needed.
7. Transfer to Silicone Square Cake Pan - 8 inch
Once the mixture is starting to get too difficult to stir, transfer it into the Silicone Square Cake Pan - 8 inch
Use a spatula to get every bit of fudge off the bowl.
Make sure the fudge is smooth along the top using the spatula.
8. Add the edible hearts
Add the hearts, it is up to you how many hearts you wish to add and the patterns you would like.
9. Leave to set in a fridge for a minimum of 3 hours. For the fudge to fully set it is best to leave overnight.
10. Cut into the desired size and enjoy!
