Rum and Raisin is my husband’s favourite so I made him this “fudge”. It’s not like “traditional” fudge as it softens too much if left out of the fridge for just a short time. To make it more robust, I coated fudge squares in milk chocolate which turned them in to quite decadent truffles😋. They’re rich so hubby’s rationed himself to one a day with his afternoon coffee. As a denser truffle it’s great, but as “Fudge”, it’s softer and not the same texture as traditional “Fudge” so would only use this recipe for truffles.

Hi!
This is a lovely recipe! It made loads more fudge than I was expecting. Is it possible to freeze? x

In reply to Darren. This sounds like the fat has separated so it's become too hot in the process of making it x

In reply to Nisan Whiteman. Yes, that is why - 54% is too low so it can make a softer fudge x

In reply to Anisha. I also had the same problem more like Ganache then Fudge. I used more Chochocolate but i used a Bitter Chocolate which contained only 54% of Cocoa. Could that be the reason it didn't set very well?

I made this with dark chocolate but it didn’t set and is unable to be cut. Can you please advise?

I tried this recipe as I love rum and raisin fudge and it turned out amazing! Soaked the raisins overnight for a stronger flavour and the fudge set well (slightly gooey on the outside but firmed up well in the fridge). It tastes amazing and will definitely be making it again for family and friends

In reply to Sarah. Hiya! Condensed milk fudge can sometimes struggle - but if you struggle, try adding 100-150g more chocolate (this works with any flavour), Hope this helps! x
