Christmas m&m's are out at the moment they are green and red only. I just poured a whole heap in and stirred them into the fudge, then I decorated the top by organising them in a pattern and sprinkled the top with cachous. I pushed them in so they set in the fudge, as the fudge is like playdough when it sets so it can be hard to get stuff to stick to it.

Cool thanks! I think I'll go with the M&M's then... Sounds christmassy!

Thanks for your super quick reply

[Rouge]

No problems at all. I know what it's like when you are having a late night panic, have to do baking and don't know what to do or have any ingredients! Been there myself many times

MMMM YUMMY will try this later in the week

It will definitely be set. I just cut mine up about 15 mins ago and I probably made it at about 3 hours ago.

well Rouge, your fudge has given me another bit of leverage to DH as to why I need a kitchen & hotplates....

Oh Rouge, you're a star! BTW, your fudge looks amazing. I think I went a bit overboard with the decoration... Still looks nice though. I couldn't find golden cachous in the local shops, so I used silver instead. It's soo pretty!

Well, it's in the fridge now. I hope I did it right. How long do you normally leave it on the stove for? Just until everything is combined? I wasn't sure, and I didn't want to burn the chocolate either. It kind of 'came away' from the sides of the pot. Is that right? Ahhh I'm scared!!! No time to make a new batch so this one will have to do!

Oh, and when I went shopping I had some great ideas for when I make the fudge for just DP and I... like using Chilli chocolate... I reckon that would be wicked. Or I saw some toasted coconut chocolate... I reckon that would be super nice too. Gotta love experimenting!
