Quick Chocolate Fudge

Last week I had some chocolate left over from my decorative cake projects (more on this at www.bakefresh.net) and I had to fix it before it goes bad. I decided to make some quick chocolate fudge. I have very fond memories of chocolate fudge. My mum always used to get us some on our way to our grandparents home which me and my sister used to love both the fudge and the trip.

The best thing about this no-bake quick chocolate fudge is that it takes only few ingredients and is very easy to put together. My sweet tooth son loved them too as you can see in the pictures. Don’t forget to add in your favorite combination of toasted nuts and dry fruits. Unexpected guests? You can prepare it in a jiffy. Enjoy!
