when recipes go wrong........................

I've been using condensed milk in quite a few recipes recently so when I spotted a recipe for fudge I decided to have a go. When the children were small I often made fudge with them and it was a firm family favourite. The fudge seemed to work well, although my arms were nearly dropping off by the time I had finished as you had to beat it for about ten minutes which I found very difficult.

I marked it into squares and left it to set but alas when I looked at it a few hours later it was all soft and squidgey, more like toffee.

Rather than throw it away, Laura came up with a good idea and suggested I made millionaire slice with it.

I made a shortbread base.

then I warmed the fudge slightly in the microwave and spread it on top of the cooked shortbread base.

then I melted some chocolate.

 I spread the chocolate on top of the fudge and shortbread layers and left it to set.

lastly it was cut into squares and I had to try very hard not to eat more than one yummy slice at a time................
