A mouthwatering fudge recipe to satisfy your sweet cravings.

Ingredients

• 2 cups sugar

• 5 tablespoons water

• 4 teaspoons golden syrup

• 1 can condensed milk

• 4 tablespoons butter

• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Method

• Add the sugar and water to a large pot and stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved.
• Stir in the syrup and butter until combined and add condensed milk, continuously stirring until the mixture comes to a boil.
• Boil over low heat until the mixture comes to the soft-ball stage. You can determine this by adding a small spoonful of the mixture to a glass of cold water. When the mixture forms a firm but soft ball that can be squeezed flat when taken out you have the correct consistency. Alternatively, you can use a food thermometer in the pot and the temperature should be between 112°C and 116°C.
• Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the vanilla essence until the mixture thickens.
• Pour into a greased baking tray and allow to cool and set.
• Slice into 20 equal portions once the fudge has set.
