Chocolate Fudge

"I really like to mix the chocolate with chili and cardamom, and the chocolate flavour is so rich! You can choose if you want a grown up taste to it or a kids pleaser depending on what additional flavour you add."

  1. Yum. Since a can of sweetened condensed milk in the States holds 14oz (less than 1 1/3c) that's what I used with 8oz of unsweetened chocolate since that's what the typical box of chocolate is here. I'm guessing that bitter chocolate means bitttersweet in US-speak as the unsweetened was a little too unsweetened. If I may I'd like to suggest another flavor addition, peanut butter. This fudge is the simplest I ever made. I used the microwave. In 1minute it was almost melted and in another 30 seconds it had thickened to just the right consistency. It wa smooth, melt-in-your-mouth good fudge that couldn't be easier. Be sure to butter your pan so that the candy comes out smoothly and don't use cooking spray unless you want to taste it.

I've been living in Kyoto with my husband since last summer. Before that I've been living in Sweden most of my life. In Japan I have experienced a lot of new food that I had never heard or imagined of before and almost everything has been extremly delicious! It is very inspiring and I want to learn more about Japanese cooking.
