Rich Mallow and Honey Almond Fudge
"I’ve adapted this recipe from one I found on the Simply Great Meals website. The original recipe uses pistachios; I’ve used honey-roasted almonds. Obviously, you could use whatever nuts you fancy or a mixture of several different nuts. Once you’ve melted your chocolate, butter and marshmallows, no more cooking is required. Great for lunchbox snacks, picnics and potlucks! For the best results, use top quality chocolate rather than cooking chocolate. I’ve suggested Lindt, and if you choose one with orange or peppermint chips, you’ll add another subtle flavour. I’ve wondered also about using a fruit juice instead of the water but haven’t tried this yet. The conversions you may need: 90g = 3oz; 250g = 8oz."

I liked the idea of the chocolate with orange chips, but couldn't find any so used dark chocolate along with a small amount of orange extract, then followed the recipe the rest of the way & had some very delicious fudge! Couldn't have been better! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in the current ADOPT A TAG event]

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
