    You want fudge, but don't have a candy thermometer...this Chocolate Coffee Fudge is so easy, no thermometer required.

    Just melt your ingredients together and mix for a few minutes, then stick it in the fridge & you're done. No fuss, just fudge.Chocolate Coffee fudge - no thermometer required

    Well, my cheat's version of fudge anyway.

    I decided to put Maltesers on top just because I like them! Simple. I used ones coated in dark chocolate, but you could use milk, or leave them off altogether, your choice.

    I think you know my choice...

    Ingredients

    • 1 x 385 g can Nestle Milk & Coffee (see notes)
    • 400 g milk chocolate (26% cocoa solids) roughly chopped
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
    • 2 tablespoon golden/raw caster sugar
    • 36 Maltesers (I used used dark) optional

    Instructions

    • Combine all ingredients except Maltesers in a medium saucepan, and stir continually over low heat for 8 mins, until completely melted & smooth.
    • Grease & line a 18 x 18 cm / 7 x 7 " (base measurement) baking pan/tin with baking/parchment paper.
    • Pour chocolate mixture into prepared tin (no need to spread - the mixture will naturally settle)
    • If using Maltesers, evenly place Maltesers in a grid pattern on top of chocolate mixture, pressing down slightly to indent (see photos)
    • Refrigerate uncovered for 2 ½ - 3 hours minimum, or overnight then slice in 16 squares & serve

    Notes

    The tin of Nestle Milk & Coffee product I used for this recipe, I found in the coffee section of my local supermarket. (No - Nestle aren't paying me!) According to the label it is designed for camping etc, just add hot water & you have coffee with milk & sugar already added in. Not that I go camping (if you know me you would know that I DON'T camp!) but it just took my eye so it came home with me for future possibilities. I assumed that it was basically condensed milk just with coffee added - I think I was right - hence my cheat's version of fudge worked!
    The fudge was good after the 2 ½ - 3 hours in the fridge, but I actually like it better uncovered overnight in the fridge - the texture is firmer & slightly drier.
