Easy Microwave Fudge

This coming weekend is bursting at the seams with all the sport that is coming up. You want to make something scrumptious yet easy.  There’s nothing better than biting into a mouth-melting piece of fudge.

For a bit of variation, you can add 25 ml sifted cocoa after adding the vanilla, or add crushed marie biscuits or cherries and/or nuts.

Ingredients:

• 1 can full cream condensed milk
• 100 g margarine
• 500 ml castor sugar
• 5 ml vanilla essence

Method:

• Combine margarine, condensed milk and sugar in a large, deep, heat-resistant container.
• Microwave on HIGH for 2 ½ minutes or until margarine is melted.
• Stir well to combine all the melted ingredients.
• Microwave for 10 minutes on HIGH, stirring regularly.
• When mixture is a light caramel colour, add vanilla essence.
• Pour into lightly greased, flat container to set.
• When slightly cooled, cut into squares.
