Hazelnut Fudge
Ingredients
- 200 gms skinless hazelnuts
- 395 gm tin condensed milk
- 50 gms butter, chopped
- 2 tbls golden syrup
- ½ tsp salt
- 40 gms cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC and roast the hazelnuts for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Put the condensed milk, butter, golden syrup and salt into a pan, bring to a simmer and stir until combined.
- Sift the cocoa powder and add to the pan and stir continually for 10 minutes until the fudge is thick. Test by dropping a teaspoon of the mixture into cold water–should form a soft ball. Note it will look quite grainy for a while as it combines together.
- Stir in the hazelnuts and vanilla essence and pour into a 20 x 8 cm loaf tin lined with baking paper, pressing the mixture flat with the back of a spoon.
- Allow to cool and then leave in the fridge for 2 hours before turning out and cutting into 2 cm squares. Fudge will keep in the fridge for 10 days.
