Ingredients

  • 1 cup minus 1 tablespoon milk
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • teaspoon salt
  • 2 oz unsweetened chocolate grated
  • 2 tbsp butter heaping
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • Optional: ½ to 1 cup chopped nuts
  • Topping:
  • Icing
  • Food Colour
  • Googly Eyes

Instructions

  • Bring milk to a boil in a large pot.
  • Remove from heat and add sugar, salt and chocolate. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
  • Bring back to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, then you want to reduce the heat to about medium and let it bubble gently without stirring it. The candy thermometer should read appr 234 degree F which is the soft ball stage. This takes about 20ish minutes, give or take a bit.
  • Remove from heat and let stand to cool. You want the thermometer to read about 110 degree F. This should take about 15ish minutes, give or take a bit.
  • Add the butter and vanilla, beat the fudge until it starts to thicken up and loses its sheen or gloss (takes about 5ish minutes).
  • If adding nuts do this now.
  • Pour into a parchment lined pan.
  • Allow to cool.
  • Cut into squares.
  • Topping:
  • I took pre-made icing and mixed in colours, then piped a little swirl on top of each piece of fudge.
  • Pop your googly eyes into the icing where you want them.
  • If layering with confetti pieces lay the confetti first then take a touch of icing and dab it on the back of the googly eyes and then press them in place over the confetti.
  • Let dry.
  • Serve with a big old monstery smile!
