Fudge

Each year, the mums at my boys' school bake a variety of sweets for the boys to enjoy on Valentine's Day. A group of volunteers work hard all morning to gather all the sweets together and make beautiful trays which are displayed on a huge table. After having their lunch, the boys come and make themselves a plate of sweets - cakes, fudge, candy brochettes, cookies, etc!

I make fudge every year. My sons' friends know about the fudge and come help themselves first in case it runs out quickly - that makes me a very happy mamma!

I learned this recipe from my mum and it is super easy. You can't fail at making this fudge!

Fudge: 

1/4 cup of 35% cream
1/2 cup of milk
2 tablespoons of corn syrup
2 cups of granulated sugar
6 oz semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

I line a large baking tray with parachement paper and once I have poured the fudge in it, I let it cool for about 15 minutes and then put in the fridge overnight. The next day, I remove the fudge and cut it into cubes or rectangles.

It never fails to please everyone! Those boys at school were very happy!
