  This was super-simple and came out with a great texture. I didn't have enough liquid glucose and couldn't be bothered seeking out more, so slugged in a bit of maple syrup instead and the taste was *really* good. It wasn't that chocolate-y though, even though I also added a dessert-spoon of cocoa. I think next time I do it, I'll use good dark chocolate and add it chopped rater than melted, so it can have chunks. Mmmm.

  Very easy to make, I don't have thermometer so used the soft ball test instead. I have made other fudge but not as good as this. I also added 4 heaped tablespoons of cocoa powder to make it very chocolatey which worked a treat! The texture was wonderful and everyone who has tried it has loved it.

  Had an utter disaster with mine, don't know what I did wrong but it never set. More of a caramel sauce than a fudge :o(

  Soooo good! Worth mentioning that you're better off using a large heavy based pot, as the mix bubbles up a lot and there's a risk of burning it towards the end. Also, the 'fast boil' to reach 118 degrees takes quite a while, so you need some patience. Mine got slightly hard so next time will take it off at 116 degrees. It's still yummy though, just didn't cut so well but more crumbled into big pieces. I'm using the crumbles for ice cream topping...

  I used a sugar thermometer but mine still didn't set quite enough. I ended up rolling blobs of it in cocoa and calling it chocolate truffles instead! Lovely flavour, I used dark chocolate instead of milk plus an extra bit of cocoa just to make sure it was really chocolatey! Will try again and hopefully I will get it to set next time.

  I made this fudge a few weeks ago and everyone said it was lovely. Im making it again today for xmas presents. i used a thermometre but i didnt melt the chocolate first as i just roughly chopped it up and added it. the mixture was hot 118C so the chocoalte melted anyway.

  Easy to make and turned out really well. Easy to cut too. I was having a go before making it for Christmas presents later on and am not disappointed!!

  made this at the weekend.....as others have said it was not very chocolatey so when it was set I melted more chocolate and dunked the pieces in and left them to set in the fridge...results were brilliant...the choc crisp on the outside made these perfect!

  If I can't find liquid glucose can I use sugar syrup instead?

  Amazing fudge. Added some plain choc in with the milk, and just let the hot fudge melt the chunks. Used maple syrup instead of glucose, and a tablespoon of cocoa powder for extra chocolate flavour. Thanks for the advice as I wouldn't have thought of those ideas. Brilliant!

  Took 3 attempts but I got it in the end! First attempt i didnt have a good enough thermometer so it ended up far too runny, second time I bought a thermometer but apparently did the "fast boil" part too quickly, and burnt the mixed: looked amazing, tasted like gunpowder :/ Third time I used syrup instead of glucose and added cocoa powder as others suggested, I also used 200g of cadburies. It seems the trick is to not have the heat too high, and wait for a good amount of the water to evaporate, stirring continuously to prevent it burning to the bottom of the pan. It can't get over 100 degrees unless there is a low enough percentage of water.

  Absolutly AMAZING! Added extra chocolate as said above! Mine set well. Not sure weather it got over 100 degrees as i don't have a themometer, did the soft ball test though! Only left in the fridge for 2 hours and it had set already! Also if you want it to set quicker, shove it in the freezer for about 20 minutes then put it back in the fridge until finished :)
