I first saw the Chocolate Marshmallow Brown Sugar Fudge (as its known) on Lorraine Pascale
programme Home Cooking Made Easy. As you could guess, I could not wait for the book to be out in the shops. So I was fast on line after the show, to see if I could get the recipe, and BINGO! I found the recipe on the BBC web site.
But every time I bought the ingredients some think would happen, like use them for some think else or the marshmallows would get eated. So it was not until the 9th of February that I decided to have ago.

I had plan to make the fudge during the day, but I ended up being busy with family stuff. So while the second part of Emmerdale was on at 8pm, I went to make the fudge. Yep I can hear you all say 'Gosh isn't that late' My mum and brother said that too. I was like ermmm no! Anyway enough about that!
The recipe says to use a square tin and to grease it with vegetable oil.. I could only find a round one and I know I have a square tin somewhere in the house. So I washed and greased the tin that I could only find. But I did not use vegetable oil the only oil we use in this house is sunflower.
Also I have noticed just lately I'm not one for getting every think prepare ready. The only time I do prepare is making cupcakes. (Gosh not done them for awhile.) I'm more a go as I flow, if you caught my drift.
Sometimes I really hate the hob, its a right pain to get lite. I personally think its me not putting enough pressure on the switch to get the hob lite. Anyway once I finally got the hob ring lite and the pan on. It was time to put the butter, milk and sugar in. Not long afterwards the sugar had melted it was time to put
the marshmallows in. I started popping in the marshmallows. They soon filled the pan, as I got the large ones and not thinking at the time what could happen. So I ended up switch to the big pan. (Note to self: Must use big pan next time not medium one) Anyway once the first lot of marshmallows had melted down I started to braking up the last lot to get them melted quicker. Then I turn the heat up to let it boil for a few minutes.
While keeping an eye on the pan I started to tidy up. Because that's what my mum as taught me to do. Once I had tidyed I had enough time to get the dark (70%) and milk chocolate chopped up ready. By the time I had chopped up the chocolate. It was time to add the chocolate to the pan and stir.
Once I had stir what was in the pan, I then poured it into the tin I had prepare early and
then left it to set. The recipe said for two hours to set, and trust me it dose only take two hours.
After the mix had set I tipped it out and cut it into pieces, I got more than 25pcs. But I did not have enough time to count because the fudge did not last for long. Everyone said that the fudge was very yummy and I've been ordered to make some more
I'll be making some more in the next few weeks. That's a promise....

Hand on my heart I have to confess at times I did not think it was going to work.
