  1. 1. Break or chop the chocolate into small chunks and place in a non-stick saucepan with the condensed milk and butter. Melt the ingredients gently over a low-medium heat, stirring occasionally until smooth and silky. (Alternatively melt in the microwave in 10-20 second bursts, stirring frequently).
  2. 2. Sieve in the icing sugar and mix thoroughly (you can use an electric whisk if you like). Press the fudge into the tin, smooth over the top with the back of a spoon. Press the nuts into the surface, if using.
  3. 3. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour until set, cut into squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
  4. For best results use chocolate with 45-50% cocoa solids. Try adding nuts, fruit or finishing with glitter or silver balls!

    Made this fudge the other day - it is just heavenly. Not quite like regular fudge but just as yummy and far easier. I think I may try using it as frosting for a chocolate cake one day and see what happens... Thanks for this amazing recipe.

    Made this fab fudge many times, always pleases. Decided to play with the ingredients...substitute milk chocolate for white chocolate and add a couple of table spoons of freeze dried raspberry. This is gorgeous, very popular with friends and family.

    Carnation says:
    Hi Debbie, no you should be able to use either product no problems. Happy cooking!

    hello, can you add liquor to this no cook recipe please

    Carnation says:
    Hi Pam, yes you can add alcohol to this recipe but only in small quantities - we would suggest only up to 2tbsp alcohol as it will affect the setting. If you find it a little runny then you can add a little extra icing sugar. Sounds delicious - what flavour are you making?

    Made this today and has been in fridge for 4 hrs its very sticky and cant cut into pieces what can i do

    Carnation says:
    Hi Lisa, oh dear.. We would suggest gently re-melting the mixture in the microwave and then adding another 50g icing sugar. Re chill. Or if you prefer re-melt the mixture, add 85g crushed biscuits, 25g dessicated coconut and some dried cranberries. Chill to set, then roll into balls and roll in more coconut. Chill or freeze until set!

    I've just made this off the recipe on the tin. Still a bit runny. Don't think I kept it on the heat long enough. Still not bad for a first go but you have to eat it with a spoon!

    Carnation says:
    Hi Louise, if you have any left you can re-melt the mixture and add a little more sieved icing sugar to make it thicker if you like! Or maybe serve it warm over ice cream!

    I made this and it was too moist to be fudge so I rolled it into balls and rolled them in cocoa powder - awesome chocolate truffles :-)

    I just made this but the mixture was very thick making it difficult to mix in the icing sugar, should it have been?

    Carnation says:
    Hi Jane, yes it should be quite thick but if its too thick to mix, give it just a very gentle warm in the microwave - in perhaps 10 second bursts, stirring every now and then. That should make it easier.
