lol, I made this yesterday while DD was in one of her moods but in my haste I forgot to grease the pan... It looks like I'm, just going to have to eat it out with a spoon

Rouge - that looks awesome!! I think I'll have to do that too!

Raupe - yes, it's supposed to come away from the sides of the pan...

CrazyLady - I always line my tray with baking paper - so I just pull it out to cut it!

It disappeared quick. Dh said that he had many requests for the recipe. It looks so festive too!

I thought of that then realised I only have the really crappy coles brand one that is better used as tracing paper

I realised if i cut a piece then use the barbie mate thingo to pull them up it works okay. It's semi presentable for playgroup tomorrow but I think everyone will have a good giggle at my screw up

I've learnt to laugh at myself doing stupid stuff. the first trimester brainlessness combined with DD toddler makes me mega ditzy right now

I thought I should come back to update. O M G ! ! !

It was sooooooooooooooooooooooo delicious!! And it turned out just perfect (consistency and deco lol). Everyone at the party was impressed

Oh and DP really enjoyed the "cut offs" (the not-so-perfect looking pieces). But maybe next time I will plan exactly where I put the m&m's. It got kinda tricky when I tried to cut the fudge and there were m&m's in the way

Crazylady: I didn't have any baking paper at all. I just sprayed the (non-stick) pan, and when the fudge had set I just turned it upside down and it *plopped* right out!

SugarDust: Because you can REALLY taste the chocolate, I'd say go for the good quality one. Not the cooking chocolate!

Hey ladies, this sound DELISH - wondering if i swap the choc for dairy free and the butter for nuttelex woudl this work.. what could i use instead of sweetened condensed milk????

Sorry if someone already mentioned, this thread is so HOT HOT HOT i'm lost

**skybie** · December 21st, 2010, 07:38 AM

someones sucessfully used condensed rice milk ZF, i think the recipes in this thread, possible the cherry ripe ball thread

**skybie** · December 21st, 2010, 07:39 AM

found it

I've just made it with sweetened condensed rice milk!!! It worked! Yum I can't wait to eat it! So I used dark chocolate (without milk solids) sweetened condensed rice milk and rasberry lollies.

Dairy free sweetened condensed rice milk
3 cups rice milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla paste
pinch of salt

Pop it all in a saucepan and cook over a medium heat until volume = 1 cup!!! Thats it! YAY! I can have diary free fudge

Thanks hun... ohhh might have to give this a try

**~ Zarava Flutterby ~** · December 22nd, 2010, 09:59 AM

Does anyone know if i NEED vanilla paste in the sweetened condensed rice milk or is it just for flavor??? was like $10 for the tiniest little jar.

Also damn you dairy free chocolate - $15 JUST for the choc in this recipe...
