It's super rich, soft and chewy... and oh-so-damn delicious. Yep, it's totally going to become your new favourite fudge!

But first let me tell you why you really need to make my Microwave Baileys Chocolate Fudge:

a) it's made in the microwave so it's E.A.S.Y;

b) it takes 10 minutes to prepare (which is nothing!!);

c) it's flavoured with Baileys (enough said).

And let's face it - anything that has Baileys AND chocolate in it, is guaranteed to be delicious!!!

This Microwave Baileys Chocolate Fudge makes a really lovely foodie gift for a friend (I made a few batches of this last Christmas). But it makes an equally as delicious late night treat for yourself.

Oooh and be warned... this fudge is super rich, so you only need a small(ish) piece. Mind you, I say 'smallish', but I'm pretty sure I ate about 10 'smallish' pieces!!!).

Enjoy! xx

PS. If you've got some leftover Baileys, why not try my Malteser Baileys Cheesecake or my Baileys Tim Tam Balls!?

• Spread the fudge mixture into the prepared tin and place into the fridge for 3-4 hours or until set, before cutting into pieces. 

Thermomix Method

• Grease and line a 20cm X 20cm square cake tin with baking paper and set aside. 
• Break chocolate into pieces and grate on Speed 8, 10 seconds. Set aside.
• Place the sweeteend condensed milk and butter into the Thermomix bowl and heat for 5 minutes, 100 degrees, Speed 3.

• Spread the fudge mixture into the prepared tin and place into the fridge for 3-4 hours or until set, before cutting into pieces. 

Notes

The higher the cocoa % in the dark chocolate, the harder the fudge will set. 

If using dark chocolate melts, this will set to a soft fudge consistency. If using a high cocoa % dark chocolate, it will set slightly firmer. 

As this fudge is soft, it needs to be kept in the fridge. 

This Baileys fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
