GOWAN's CHOCOLATE FUDGE

INGREDIENTS
250g Butter, slightly salted
2-3 tablespoons Golden syrup
200-400g Milk cooking chocolate
250g Cadburys drinking chocolate
Splash of freshly squeezed orange juice

3 packets of Plain biscuits. Lincoln best, shortcake or plain digestives, Marie
100g Ground Almonds

• 8inch square glass dish, or similar
• Greaseproof paper

PREPARATION
Mash biscuits. On my first time I put the biscuits into a plastic food bag, sealed it and whacked it with a rolling pin. Was picking biscuit crumbs from the far corners of my kitchen for weeks afterwards. Now I use a food processor.

Transfer pulverised crumbs to a bowl. Stir in Ground almonds.

COOKING
Add butter and golden syrup to saucepan. Heat gently, do not boil. Break chocolate into chunks and add. Stir from time to time.

When everything melted, turn off heat. Stir in Drinking chocolate. Add Orange juice and stir.

Gradually stir in biscuit crumb mix. Keep adding till the mixture is quite stiff to stir. Add a dribble of Orange juice if necessary.

Line Glass dish with double layer of Greaseproof paper.

Pour in mixture, and press down. Let it cool.

You may find a layer of liquid butter on top. I use kitchen paper to remove some of it. Just leave a thin layer to soak into the mixture.

Roughly cut straight lines in mixture down to bottom of dish, about one inch apart.

When cool put in fridge and leave overnight.

The following day, or early in the morning if you cannot wait, take out of fridge. Cut into small chunks. Share & Enjoy!

Happy cooking
