tried making this recipe but got stuck before i could finish it properly! i poured my 397g condensed milk into a measuring jug and it came to exactly 250ml, with none remaining for the rest of the recipe. am i being stupid? please help me out! - 15 Jan 2011
Just made this - it's very easy and the result is absolutely delicious too! The only change I would make is that there is not enough of the dark chocolate mixture. In the end I doubled the quantities for the dark layers. Also, don't try to make both mixtures at the same time, like I did - while you're sorting out the dark layer, the white chocolate mixture will burn and you'll get brown flakes in the white mixture (but that's my fault not the recipe's fault!) - 20 Dec 2011
Just made this fudge last night. It tasted delicious. Mine turned out quite shiny. I don't think it effects the taste but it doesn't look as attractive. I used a low heat but next time I will lower the heat even more. - 31 Aug 2012
