Children’s Easter Holiday Fudge
This fudge is absolutely perfect if you are just not in the mood for thermometers and all
that gubbins, it’s also a cracking recipe if you have keen little chefs on their Easter hols.
There is some heating but the stirring bit is fun, with supervision.
Feel free to add your own favourite topping, try our Hen’s Eggs or Itsy Bitsy Eggs.

Hen’s Eggs or Itsy Bitsy Eggs.
1 Generously butter a 17cm (63/4in) square tin and line with baking parchment.
2 Pop 5cm (21/2in) water in a pan and bring to the boil. Pop a heatproof bowl on top. Add the two types of chocolate, the remaining butter, condensed milk and vanilla extract.
3 Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and allow the chocolate and butter to melt.
4 Take off the heat and have fun stirring all the ingredients together. Please be careful the bowl is hot.
5 Pour into the prepared tin and scatter over the Candy Eggs, pushing them into the fudge so that they stick. Cool, then chill overnight.
6. Remove from the fridge and cut into squares and serve.
