RECIPE NOTES
Chocolate - 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.
Maltesers - I used Maltesers for this recipe which are chocolate coated malted milk balls. You can use any brand you like (such as Whoppers).
Microwave - cooking time will vary slightly depending on the wattage of your microwave. Cook the chocolate and sweetened condensed milk on 50% power for 2-3 minutes or until completely melted.
Storage - As this fudge is soft, it needs to be kept in the fridge. It can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 weeks.
