What about this one you could swap the nuts and coffee liqueur for rum and raisins.

Chocolate Hazelnut and coffee liqueur truffles
Makes 49 pieces

500g chocolate – we use Whittakers 62% dark cacao
1 395g can sweetened condensed milk
4 tbsp coffee liqueur (we used Cafe Java)
1 tbsp butter
¾ cup hazelnuts, roasted, skinned and roughly chopped
Line a 20cm x 20cm baking tin with baking paper.
Spread hazelnuts on a baking tray and put in an oven set on 190degC fan bake for 5-10 minutes. You will be able to smell the roasted hazelnut aroma when they are ready and the skins will have become crisp and flaky.

Tip the nuts on to a clean tea towel, and roll them round rubbing gently to slough off the skins. Pick out the skinned nuts, and don’t worry if a small quantity of skin remains.

Place a small saucepan containing a couple of centimetres of water on the element to heat. Set a heat proof bowl over but not in contact with the hot water. Break the chocolate into the bowl. As soon as the water is simmering remove the pan from the heat and stir the chocolate continuously allowing the residual heat from the hot water to gently melt the chocolate.

While the chocolate is melting, in another saucepan, gently warm the sweetened condensed milk, and stir in the coffee liqueur and butter.
When the chocolate is completely melted, mix in the sweetened condensed milk mixture and the toasted skinned hazelnuts.

Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and place in the fridge to set.

Once chocolate is set, cut into 49, 2.5 cm cubes.

Have you managed to find the Woman's Day rum & raisin fudge recipe? If so, it would be fantastic if you could post it. I meant to keep it but realised I have recycled my magazine!!
