I always, always double this - cooking time remains the same and then pour it into a buttered roast pan.Delish.(Only make it on special occasions now though).May as well use the whole tin than have a half left over - unless you like it by the spoonfull that is.

heat, stirring continuously, until either mixture forms a soft ball, for about 15 minutes.
Remove from microwave oven or stovetop. Add vanilla and~wa1nuts and beat for 4-5 minutes until mixture starts to thicken. Pour quickly into 20cm pan lined with a strip ofbaking paper. Leave until firm. Tip from pan then cut into squares.

Microwave Chocolate Fudge

yesterday on Nigella she made, a block of choc, a tin of condensed milk 2 tablespoons of butter melted it all together and added pistachio nuts and spread it out and then cut it up, she called it Fudge and it looked easy as.

Recipe here: http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/chocolate-pistachio-fudge-96I've made it before, it's very rich and you really do need to like dark chocolate. It is very easy to make, especially if your get the pistachios ready-shelled.

i do mine in the microwave its fool proof you must beat it with electric beaters for nearly five mins i find whipping all that air into it helps it set
3 cup sugar
200ml condensed milk
125 gm butter
1 tsp vanilla ess
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp golden syrup
pinch salt

bang it in the microwave for 15 mins stop and stir every 3 be very careful taking it out as its super hot and use the largest bowl you can find
beat for 3-5 mins you will feel it start to thicken pour out onto baking paper in a dish makes it easier to get out
makes heaps
