This sounds great!

DH wants to know if you could add fresh cherries to it instead of lollies?

I prefer it with milk chocolate - usually 350g milk choc and 100g dark choc when I make it.

I just wanted to come in and say thank you for this yummy recipe .

I made it for christmas day...and it was a real winner...everybody LOVED it!!!

I did 2 variations of it:-

The dark chocolate and peppermint crisp one.

And I'm not sure if anyone else had tried this....hence why I thought I'd share....just in case but I did a

Lemon Meringue Fudge......it was even yummier !!! (though I didn't have as many testers on this)

I actually wasn't sure if it turned out ok so didn't take it to my family gathering...as when I made it - I kept tasting it to be sure but I just didn't think there was enough lemon to it. But turns out my tastebuds that evening when I made it was playing up (I had a bit of a sore throat anyway). But when I was clearing out the fridge to go away I gave it to my parents and they all...including my dad - who rarely eats sweets LOVED it!!!

So with the Lemon Meringue I used... along with the tin of condensed milk, 75gms of butter -
I used 500gms of white chocolate instead
and started with 1/2 teaspoon of lemon essence (instead of the vanilla).
I added about another tablespoon of lemon essence, but was scared of it turning to runny, so I then decided to use the rind of 1 lemon, but still didn't think it was lemony enough...and didn't have any more lemons so I took the chance and squeezed the juice of the rindless lemon in too...it was not runny at all.

A couple of days later...I got around to properly tasting it a few days later and it was definitely lemony (not overly strong either...so I think when I make it again...because I will it was that yummy...I might use another lemon rind maybe....will just keep tasting to be sure though...ahh the things you gotta do when cooking ).

To finish it off I had made up some meringue (just the egg whites and castor sugar mix and into the oven for 10mintues) and placed it on top (though because I didn't think it had worked I think I waited too long to put the meringue on...cause it kept sliding off...might have to do so when both are still warm I think...unless someone here can recommend something ).

So once again thank you for such an easy and yummy dessert .
