I love chocolate, I love Baileys and I love condensed milk (by the spoonful!) but then throw pistachios in too – then I’m as happy as a pig in mud! :)

Hi Leonie, can the Baileys be substituted for Limoncello?
thermofun says
Hi Lesley I haven't tried it but it certainly would be worth giving a try! I'd love to hear how it goes.
Irene says
Hi there,
I'm making this today for Christmas pressies. Does it need to be stored in the fridge or can I store it at room temperature ( like fudge you see in shops) -0and if so, for how long?
Thanks for the wonderful recipe.
Cheers,
Irene
thermofun says
Hi Irene, I think it really depends on the climate that you live in. I tend to always keeps my fudge in the fridge in the summer months. It will also last in the fridge for a good couple of months.

You're kidding, right? How does that happen?

Janet Willoughby says
Rich, decadent and totally delicious :-)
I added 100g cranberries this time to make it for Christmas, but it still tastes great when I've made it without them :-)
This is one of my favourite fudges :-)
Thanks Leonie for another awesome recipe :-)
thermofun says
I love the idea of the cranberries being added Janet! :)
Annette says
Hi Janet,
I just had a quick query about the cranberries, did you replace the pistachios with cranberries or did you have both? Thank you
MelissA says
Hi
Would the recipe work without the nuts?
Thanks
thermofun says
hmmmm Melissa I'm not sure - I really do think the pistachios make it. The recipe would work I'm sure but just may not taste as good. :(
