How to make gingerbread fudge
- This recipe begins with butter, condensed milk, brown sugar and molasses. If you don’t have access to molasses, you could use golden syrup or treacle instead. In a medium saucepan, heat on low until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Your mixture should be nice and smooth.
- Turn heat up to medium and let mixture simmer and slowly thicken. Be sure to stir your mixture constantly. Once your mixture has thickened, remove from the heat and add chocolate, spices and salt.
- The blend of spices make for a tasty and strong gingerbread flavour. If you want a more mild approach, consider halving the ginger and removing the cloves. However, if you love gingerbread, you’ll likely enjoy this creamy spiced fudge just the way it is.
- Place fudge back on the heat until the chocolate has melted and fudge is thick and smooth. Transfer to a baking pan lined with baking paper and place in the fridge to set.
What chocolate do I use?
Use a good quality block of white chocolate, rather than white chocolate chips or melts. The best way to tell if your chocolate is good enough to use, is if you are happy to eat it straight from the packet. If not, don’t use it in your baked goods.

Sweetest Menu Fudge experiment part 2. After the success of part 1 (Salted Caramel Fudge) I was fairly confident that Jess’s recipe would be a sure thing…and it was! I cut the spices in half as suggested thinking that I could add more next time. I also only had ‘blackstrap Molasses in the larder. The result was pretty delicious. Great creamy texture and a very treacle-ish taste (akin to treacle toffee) – I will add more spices next time and find some ‘proper’ molasses as per Jess’s recipe. In the meantime I am looking forward to taking this into work tomorrow (along with the remainder of aforementioned experiment 1) to share with my colleagues! Thank you Jess yet again…Now what to bake next…I think your blondies are calling me!
