No Bake Chocolate Fudge

Something from mom to moms this Christmas...

As mentioned on my previous post about the baking during this beautiful advent season in prepartion for Chirtmas, if like me, you're often short of time for all that preparation, this recipe might be a perfect solution. It is dead easy and best of all, you won't even need to switch the oven on! They are also guarantee to taste as good as they look so give it a try!

If you were to make them for children, they can be a bit less sophisticated by replacing macadamia nuts with any other type of nut and dried figs with raisins or dried apricots :)

No-bake chocolate, nut and fig slices

Makes 16:

100g butter
2 tablespoons runny honey
300g dark chocolate (50-70% cocoa), broken into pieces
100g milk chocolate, broken into pieces
100g digestive or other sweetmeal biscuits
100g shelled macadamia nuts
100g ready-to-eat dried figs
A spoon full extra cocoa powder for dusting
18cm square tin, ideally loose-based, oiled

Method:

Put the butter, honey and both types of chocolate in a medium pan and melt gently, stirring from time to time. Meanwhile, roughly chop the biscuits, nuts and figs. Stir into the melted chocolate mixture. Tip the mixture into the prepared tin. Leave to cool completely before refridgerating for 2-3 hours to set. Cut into 16 slices and they're ready to serve!
