mix it in with ice cream or crumble on top
crumble and throw it into a slice exchange it for sugar

.and if you ever want to try another, try this :)
CREAMY, NO-BEAT NEVER-FAIL FUDGE Bring to boil on medium heat stirring ALL the time: 1 cup brown sugar 125 gm butter (room temp so you're not starting from rock hard) 1 can sweetened condensed milk 1 teaspoon golden syrup
Simmer on low for ten minutes, stirring ALL the time all around the pot to prevent little brown bits forming
Remove from heat and quickly stir in till melted 100 gms Whittaker's white chocolate (stir quickly but don't over-mix or it won't pour out smoothly)
Pour into 20 cm square tin lined with baking paper
Do not cut until completely cold for neat edges (the chocolate needs time to set)
Variations:
+ Ginger - add 1-2 teaspoons ground ginger at the start and then add half a packet of chopped preserved ginger at the end.
+ Walnut -Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence at the end after adding the white chocolate.

If fudge goes grainy it means that it hasn't dissolved properly before boiling. You can put back on and reheat and see if sugar melts again-if it does then boil until soft boil and it should set. The other issue often with russian fudge is it won't set if made on a humid day.

i had the same thing last year. I made a giant batch too, so used half for caramel slice (find a standard caramel slice recipe, all you need to make is the biscuit base, pour the fudge over that and top with choc.
With the other half i made rumballs (without rum of course). Added 2 packets of finely crushed wine biscuits, cocoa, mixed and rolled the balls in dessicated coconut.
I think you can use it for almost any recipe that uses sweetened condensed milk
